From Pond to Problem: When garden plants escape! will take place on 9 November 2026 at the National Surf Centre in Sligo. This workshop will address the issues caused by garden plants that escape into the wild.
Explore how garden plants escape into the wild, cause problems, and what we can do to stop them—in person!
Join us for an engaging Science Week event with Chantel Carr (National Biodiversity Data Centre) and Marting Colling (Sligo Bay Catchment Rivers Trust). Discover the fascinating science behind invasive plants and how seemingly harmless garden plants can become a serious threat to our waterways. Using the story of Himalayan balsam in Sligo, we’ll explore how it has spread from gardens to our rivers and how Sligo Bay Catchment River Trust is working to remove it and protect our precious river habitats.
