Invasion of the biodiversity snatchers
Invasion of the biodiversity snatchers
Neighbors form weeding groups to keep pest plants, once desirable and sold in catalogs, from taking over.
What inspiration we can find in plants: The vines that bend but won’t break. The brave little sapling pushing up through a crack in the pavement. The rhizomes that propagate and send their nasty little tendrils out to choke our nice plantings and turn us into Sisyphean weeding machines and … nevermind. Not every plant deserves a poem. When it comes to rooting out invasive species, some plants deserve a search party.
