Before you dig into the garden this spring, be mindful of invasive plants that can take over your yard—and Ontario’s ecosystems! 🚫
❌ Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) – Spreads quickly and displaces native wildflowers.
❌ English Ivy (Hedera helix) – Grows up trees and walls, smothering everything in its path.
❌ Periwinkle (Vinca minor) – A popular groundcover that escapes into woodlands, choking out native species.
❌ Goutweed (Aegopodium podagraria) – Spreads aggressively, outcompeting native plants in gardens and forests.
✅ Choose native alternatives! Canada Anemone, Wild Ginger, Foamflower, and Woodland Phlox are beautiful, eco-friendly options.
Let’s grow gardens that help, not harm, Ontario’s biodiversity! 🌿
