On Saturday, July 28, the Sierra Club Susquehanna Group offers an opportunity to visit the Weed Science Teaching Garden at Cornell University, a project of the Weed Ecology and Management Laboratory.
The Cornell Weed Science Teaching Garden was established in 2008 to enhance the educational experience of Cornell students and visitors for those tenacious plants we call ‘weeds’! The Weed Garden includes over 125 different agricultural and invasive weed species including poisonous plants from more than 30 plant families common to the northeastern United States and southern Canada.
Carpool from Owego’s Tops parking lot (meet at 8:45 a.m. in far southeast corner) or meet at 10 a.m. at the garden off of Caldwell Road.
Directions: drive south/east on Tower Road, past Veterinary College; turn left onto Campus Road and go to Stop sign; turn left onto Caldwell Road; right onto Maize Drive and take immediate left. Weed Garden is behind Muenscher Lab/Greenhouses on left.
The event is free and open to all. Contact Erin Riddle by email to riddleriddle@gmail.com, or call or text (607) 372-503.
