Ep 108. Value of Virginia Creeper vs. Poison Ivy

While it grows rampant in the wild, Virginia Creeper is native, therefore not considered invasive, and is valued as an ornamental plant. And, like its look-alike Poison Ivy, Virginia Creeper is loved by wildlife. In this episode, I share my big sister's "I dare you" challenge as a child and a fun review of how to tell the difference between Virginia Creeper and Poison Ivy.We wrap up with a sad sequel to Mending Fences with Forysthia (Ep 96), hoping to turn a neighbor's invasive anger around. Related Stories and Helpful Links Value of Virginia Creeper vs. Poison Ivy  Removing Poison Ivy without Chemicals Previous stories we make mention of in the episode: One World / Memorial Day and  Robins of Renewal in the Garden Mending Fences with Forsythia Mile-a-Minute Weed Remedies                                                                             8888I'd love to hear about your garden and nature stories.
