Here’s an interesting use of invasive honeysuckle. Local artist Martha Younkin used it to make art and other goods. The exhibit at Maryville University, which begins next weekend, is designed to raise awareness about the invasive species and the importance of protecting diversity. There are a couple of special events next weekend associated with the exhibit:
Friday, Oct. 17, 7-9 PM – art exhibit opening and reception
Saturday, Oct. 18, 10 AM – 2 PM – interactive art show and vendors
Just as a side note, Martha worked at SNR for a while.
