⚠️WARNING⚠️
did you know that 70% of all pest plants in New Zealand were originally found within gardens?
Here are 3 of the toughest and meanest examples of pest plants to come from gardens.
‼️In your garden, prioritise native species‼️
Any introduced species can become an ecologically damaging species, particularly fast-growing uncontrolled garden species.
DO THE RIGHT THING. Don’t plant introduced species unless they are within a controlled horticultural environment. If you see any of the species listed above within your community, report them to your local authorities.
