Event Description: Come fall, fields are painted gold with goldenrods. In spite of their beauty, goldenrods all too often get a bad rap as weedy – certainly not desirable garden plants! But there is great diversity among goldenrods, with over 70 species in the eastern U.S. Many are stunningly beautiful, and it is possible to select species that will bloom from early July through the first frosts. Goldenrods are also critical nectar sources for a staggering array of insects and serve a vital role in ecological webs. Many interesting insects specialize on goldenrods, and the nutrient-rich seeds provide ample fodder for seed-eating birds. Explore many of the gorgeous goldenrods, the animals that use them, and how they fit into nature’s bigger picture. Join live to participate in our online learning community or watch after as your schedule allows. All registrants will receive a recording of the class with access to view the class for 30 days after the live session.
