Poison Ivy Paparazzi

The Poison Ivy Paparazzi blog endeavors to ‘catch’ snapshots of this celebrity plant in the situations we encounter it, allowing us to explore poison ivy in a creative, reflective and academic fashion. We hope that this section of the site will give viewers insight into this neighborhood bully lurking and unexpectedly present. Let’s start these conversations at the place where the plant starts; the seeds.


Poison ivy is a native plant to North America, and reliable research points to its eighty million year history on this continent. The likely truth is that it cannot be totally eliminated from our environment. What we can do however, is learn to recognize it, and to remove it from areas where contact with people is likely.
