Teasel is considered an invasive alien because it creates a monoculture
crowding out native plants
Alien
Arrangements at DCP
Shawnee Prairie is no stranger to invasive plants, also known as
aliens. The woods, wetlands, and prairies are home to teasel,
honeysuckle, creeper, garlic mustard, and more. Parks and preserves
spend countless hours trying to control the spread of these alien
plants. On Saturday, October 8th at 10am at Shawnee Prairie Preserve,
Darke County Parks is taking an additional approach by creating
beautiful arrangements with these prolific plants. Participants are
asked to bring gloves, clippers, and their imaginations as they take to
the wild to collect their supplies to make their masterpieces.
Registration is required for the class, and there is a $3 materials
fee.
