SEPTEMBER 6—INVASIVE PLANT WORKSHOP!

Trenton, August 18, 2025 – Trenton Butterfly Gardens is pleased to announce an upcoming workshop on invasive plants, aimed at educating the public on the dangers of these species and how to properly manage them.

Invasive plants are non-native species that can cause harm to the environment, economy, and even human health. They can displace native plants, disrupt ecosystems, and increase the risk of wildfires. Invasive plants are a growing problem in Maine and worldwide, and it is crucial to take action to prevent their spread.

The workshop will be held on September 6, 2025 at the Trenton Town Office, 59 Oak Point Road in Trenton and will be led by Lauren Landers, Maine Master Gardener. Participants will learn about the identification and control of invasive plants, including practical techniques for management, such as manual, chemical, and biological control methods.

The workshop is free and open to anyone interested in learning about invasive plants, including homeowners, land managers, and natural resource professionals. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their experiences, and network with others interested in invasive species management.

Trenton Butterfly Gardens is committed to promoting the health and vitality of butterflies, pollinators, and native habitats.
