Long Island Rose Society

Vinnie Simeone, of Planting Fields Arboretum will present “Plants that We Love to Hate…and Their Desirable Alter Egos” This lecture will provide an in depth look at some of the trees, shrubs, vines, and ground covers that have wreaked havoc or caused unavoidable stress to our cultivated landscapes and will provide kinder and gentler alternatives to each. Special emphasis will be given to native and non-invasive exotics plants that provide exceptional ornamental value, superior landscape function, adaptability, deer resistance and benefits to wildlife. All welcome!
