About this Event

East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District is excited to partner with the Columbia Slough Watershed Council to present a Tackle the Weeds: Hands-On Tool Training for Gardeners workshop.

Join us for a hands-on workshop on effective W**d removal using a variety of gardening tools. We’ll cover proper tool use, safety tips, and how to select the right tool for different types of weeds. Participants will also have the opportunity to practice these skills by removing common weeds at Whitaker Ponds. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, this workshop will equip you with practical skills to tackle invasive plants more efficiently and confidently.

Please come prepared by wearing long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes to stay safe and comfortable while working outdoors.
