You can call it habitat restoration, or you can call it exotic pest plant removal, or you can just call it plain old weeding. Whichever term you prefer, what it amounts to is therapy.

The dictionary defines therapy as a power or quality of healing. Clearly, removing weeds heals the affected habitats. It also can be a source of emotional healing for those who do it: it makes you feel as though you’ve done something good. In short, it is satisfying.

If you’d like to give and receive a little therapy, try joining Ken Himes and his crew of weed warriors for a couple of hours any Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. through October 23 or Friday at 8:30 a.m. throughout the year. Or plan to join us for a special Saturday morning session on June 22, July 20, or August 3. Satisfaction guaranteed. For details on times and meeting places, consult www.friendsofedgewood.org/weeding_2002.htm, or call Ken.

Help heal Edgewood and yourself.
