On Sat, April 23, Wild Warner and Brentwood Neighborhood Assn will sponsor a trash pickup in all of Warner Park and a garlic mustard weed pull in Warner Park Woods behind the tennis courts.
Meet at Rainbow Shelter at 10:30am. Bring trash bags and wear old shoes and gloves.
One team will pick up trash all over Warner Park.
A second team will pull garlic mustard in the woods. In spring it is easy to pull, even for a child. Pulling will not cause a rash. This is an invasive herb and makes a tasty salad. Garlic mustard is an exotic species introduced from Europe by early settlers for food, cooking, and medicinal uses. It spreads rapidly, crowding out native wildflowers. Once it is pulled, wildflowers will reclaim the area.
BONUS: Bring your favorite salad dressing, bowl, and fork. We will teach you how to eat it. We’re not kidding. It is delicious!
