A full turn out was present when you came and spoke in Morristown, NJ at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum. Armed with wonderful slides for a very interesting presentation, the large room was silent as not to miss a word. At that time I was the Horticulture Volunteer Coordinator with our wonderful crew of volunteers enjoying your lecture , taking the handouts, making notes thoroughly focused.

Thank you so much & A New Year 2019 filled with sweet surprises.
Best regards, Kate Gutierrez, The Morris County Park Commission, Retired

Never in my long life, in the burbs, did I know of garlic mustard until I started volunteering at our Botanical Garden and learned what a massive threat it was to the entire outdoor space. Volunteers were recruited yearly to hand-pull it and that was hardly the end of it.
Now I have seen it rapidly take over the woods that I call home. It’s a matter of “wild space” where none of the homeowners saw this coming and homeowners who don’t give a damn now that it is very visible and doing real damage to a lovely area.
I am defending my small area, but it does appear to be a losing battle when the majority aren’t rowing the boat.
