Garlic mustard is a biennial (two-year life cycle), herbaceous plan that spreads rapidly by seed in our woodlands. One of the most invasive and difficult to control weeds of our woodlands in our area; it is a major threat to our desirable native woodland wildflowers, tree seedlings, and wildlife.  Garlic Mustard not only out-competes native plants by being one of the first plants to leave out in the spring, shades out competitors during the growing season and is an allelopathic plant (releases chemical inhibitors into the environment).
