One of my favorite activities with children is making moss gardens in old pie tins. I’m not familiar with the Japanese knotweed but from reading I’ve learned that it is used for medicines. We have invasive plants all over, including the beautiful purple thistle which can choke railroad tracks. The masks look great. I’m glad that people are making AND wearing them!Ann B.
