Don’t let the sweet white flowers fool you, bindweed is one of our most formidable enemies! You can find it invading the fruit orchard (area south of the plots south of Montrose.) Gain some independent volunteer hours by picking a section and clearing out this invasive jerk! It’s literally so invasive and persistent we ask that when you pull it (at the root), put the remains in a TRASH BAG (please bring one!) and toss it in the trash. We do not want this in the compost piles, as it’ll just find another way to ruin our lives (drama!)
