Canada Mayflower and spicebush! (Waiting to get another spicebush until I know what sex this one is)

Planted them both pretty late last fall so feeling very relieved they survived and are now growing!

I am trying to figure out the best way to start conversations in my neighborhood about invasive plants. I have been noticing seeds and small plants appear over the year despite my best weeding efforts, which is becoming more noticeable as I continue developing the garden to native plants.

Since the plants in your neighbor’s yard affect your gardens (even far away neighbors thanks to birds and critters!), I would like to ask:

  1. Have you had a conversation with a neighbor about the negative impacts of invasive plants?
  2. How did it go?
  3. What was the impact?

Thanks for sharing!

Update: I can’t change the post title but I’m heading a strong trend to approach with positive aspects of incorporating native plants. Thanks for sharing your experience and considerations!
