8. Avoid invasive plants
Invasive plants, like goutweed and purple loosestrife, are often non-native species which can spread throughout your garden – and beyond! Some invasive species have invaded natural areas, choking out native plantings. When you add new plants to your garden avoid invasive trees, shrubs, vines, and perennials. Do a little research before you head to the garden centre or accept plants from well-meaning friends and neighbors. When reading plant tags at the nursery, look for warning signs like ‘fast-spreading’ or ‘groundcover’. These descriptions often indicate plants that are hard to control. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.
