PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Janice Chumley-- Invasive Plants
Chumley distributed education material pertaining to invasive plants of Alaska. She
noted, she was involved in a project to map invasive plants throughout the Central
Peninsula. Chumley cautioned, gardeners like to try new plants and as a result,
invasive plants can be easily introduced. She added, since Alaska does not have state
enforcement, gardeners must accept some level of responsibility.
Chumley reviewed some of the more common invasive plants and thanked the
Committee for their cooperation in removing tansy from city beds.

Member Brown distributed copies of the circle planter plant designs for the volunteer
planting day. The Committee reviewed the plan and Frates suggested a new
numbering system be established for the circle planters.
Discussion -- Volunteer Planting Day (May 28, 2005)
Dimmick reminded everyone of the May 28, 2005 plant day and requested members to
assign themselves to various areas. Members shared their areas of interest and chose
where they would be stationed during the planting day.
