Paddock Woods Saturday May 28
Back to Paddock, near the Yellow Trail's eastern edge, for more garlic mustard. We found more than enough to justify our time there, with the occasional thick patch and much more of it scattered across the work area. We had a good group, ten or more, including first-time Palos volunteers Hal and Alex.
The plants have dropped their flowers now, making them a bit harder to locate, especially the smaller ones. I was impressed with new volunteer Alex, who, after seeing the plants briefly, was able to pick find one, from the trail, and ID it properly. Good eyes!
