Sometimes you have to stop and enjoy the view! Ben goes to some beautiful places to gather samples for his aquatic plant trainings! This is Lake Geneva, tucked between Auburn and Federal Way. Swipe to the next picture to see Ben’s plants all ready for school! Photos by Ben Peterson #scenicmoment #lakegeneva #notthatlakegeneva #kingcountylakes #waterweeds

Sneaky garlic mustard mixed with other invasive plants showed up when this fence was installed. The weed seeds seem to have come in with fill when the work was done. Now all the neighbors have it too! Those darn weeds, they sure know how to take advantage of any opening! For a fun weed quiz, try to name all the invasive plants in both pictures.

Giving garlic mustard the brush off! When the PNW garlic mustard working group does site tours in Portland, we make sure to leave the seeds behind! Tiny garlic mustard seeds are easily carried on boots. New garlic mustard plants can self-pollinate and rapidly populate new areas. Oregon, Washington and Alaska are all struggling to contain this plant. Prevention and early detection of new outbreaks will go a long way to helping keep it from spreading more.

Eat those weeds little beaver! Fragrant water lily is super invasive in lakes in King County so I’m happy to see we have some help clearing it out!
