Wild Parsnip Diggin! Friday, November 12, 4 pm- Join the Martha Wagbo Farm and Education Center for our monthly potluck series. This month we will start the program by digging wild parsnip- a notorious invasive pest. But few realize that this is the exact same plant as the domestic parsnip you buy in groceries and farmers markets. Come armed with a shovel and work clothes as we help remove this threat to our native wildflowers (and gather food at the same time!) For more info call Wagbo at 231-536-0333, or email wagbo@torchlake.com.
