Are you an experienced gardener? Know the difference between the common invasive plants and many native wildflowers? Come join us at this work session dedicated to careful weeding of the Pollinator Garden on the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway.

If we have time, we'll move on to cutting and digging out some of the invasive plants right around the Pollinator Garden, including mugwort, Japanese knotweed, buckthorn and black swallowwort.
