The Silver Spring Garden Club hosts:
Exploring the Urban Jungle: Natural History at Your Doorstep
The Washington-area urban ecosystem thrives with plants and animals that
have adapted to living with humans. Most successful are exotic invasive
species, which present an abundance of material, from which many useful
substances may be extracted.
Patterson Clark is the science graphics editor at The Washington Post,
where he produces the natural history column “Urban Jungle.” For the
past 10 years, he has been removing invasive plants from his
neighborhood, processing them into paper, inks, relief printing blocks,
frames, fuel, food, and chemicals.
Go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/urbanjungle to see his most recent columns on Black-Eyed Susans, Damselflies, Wild Rice, Giant Hogweed, and many more.
