Noon to 1 p.m. Aug. 24 Join Gloria-martinez of Boulder County Extension to learn about noxious weeds in Boulder County. What is a “weed”? Is it the Kentucky bluegrass in our flower bed or the bindweed in our vegetable garden? What ecological mechanisms make weeds so successful in establishment? We’ll have a community discussion on what defines a “weed,” some common weeds in our region and how we can manage them to make more room for our native plant relatives and microfauna.
