Afterwards, anyone who wants to, please join us just down the street at the Morse Kelley playground for refreshments - watermelon and cool beverages - to celebrate our hard work. We can also take victory photos.

Please bring your own water, sunscreen, hat, etc. Bring gloves and weeding tools if you have them. If you do not, please let us know by replying to this email and we can try to track down a few extra. We will have garbage bags and refreshments.”

The danger is it takes over large areas and deprives native pollinators food and a place to lay their eggs. Monarchs will use this plant but no larva will survive.
