Let’s Keep Moving Forward!
Robin Schachat and Jane Ellison
With this article, your Nature in my Backyard program begins a series of articles on the worst invasive non-native plants that are common in our northeast Ohio residential gardens, and appropriate native plants with which they should be replaced. Our inaugural article celebrates a recent triumph against one of the worst invaders, the Callery Pear, which crowds native trees out of our local forests.
Because we have enjoyed a tremendously busy holiday season – and we hope you have also – the essence of this month’s kickoff entry is in the form of a panel for our “A Fantasy” educational panels. We had so much more to say that we created the pattern of many more panels than we had room for at the flower show, and this is one of them.
We will continue in a more traditional format starting next month.
Happy New Year from Nature in my Backyard!
