I wanted to find more info on Giant hogweed. My concern essentially is to avoid it, and because we will be camping this summer I wanted to make sure I know what it looks like so I can show the kids as to avoid it. Found lots of info on this website- thank you Sheila McDonald I do not like weeds ;) ick!
