On February 23rd, an interesting day of lectures was held on the Spontaneous Vegetation of Cities  and  it brings. It was held at the  School of Forestry Technical Engineers of Madrid  and was organized by the Spanish Association of  Public Parks and Gardens.

Very interesting topics were addressed such as  the use of traditional and low impact herbicides, the application of Royal Decree 1311/2012 for their sustainable use, as well as the control and management of “weeds” , their alternative use as a new opportunity for landscape design, their integration in urban environments, etc.  From this point of view the following questions arise: are they weeds or are they simply unwelcome and annoying weeds in the image of cities? Do we have to control them? If so, what tools do we have for their use in public parks and gardens?

During the talks, the experiences of cities such as Barcelona, Lyon, as well as the representation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment, among other entities, stood out.
