It is Spring again, and time to remind those garden workers of some of the 
confusion that exists about nuisance plants.

One of the most common vines that always seems to appear is Virginia Creeper, 
seen here on the trunk of a Dogwood.  It is a harmless nuisance and can be 
handled without problems.  It is often confused with Poison Ivy.

The one you want to avoid handling is Poison Ivy.  Remember the old adage, 
"Leaves of three, let it be". If you are allergic to this plant, avoid handling 
without disposable gloves, and avoid the smoke if it is burned.
