Last year we took a trailer full of holly and ivy down to a weed collection day. I said that to the people there that my problem was that my knowledge of plants was very poor and apart from the headline weeds I did not know which was a weed and which wasn’t. You see I never really spent much time learning about plants.<\/p>\n

\nThe course really did start with the basics, from basic plant parts up to showing the different weeds and methods of weed control. It was just what I needed. My only disappointment was that we did not go on the walk promised at the start. I thought this was because we ran out of time.<\/p>\n

Now that I have had time for reflection and thought, and also to go to the council website I do have some ideas on how it could be improved.<\/p>\n

I would like it to have a show of the yarra council web site as part of the presentation and to have more samples of the plants and have a specific talk about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
