When you’re out in the garden, be aware of poisonous plants such as poison hemlock.

Master Gardener Gwen Podeschi says be very careful when dealing with this plant. 

Wild parsnip is another poisonous plant the master gardeners are watching for. That is an invasive plant. 

Podeschi says the best thing to do is remove the invaders – carefully.  

As usual, the help desk is available for you Monday through Friday from 9 to 11 a.m.
