Often one can justify a negative aspect of something because of some perceived benefit it may offer. When it comes to an invasive plant, we should never make that mistake. Invasives have been determined by scientific evaluation to be harmful in a way that is detrimental to the environment and/or detrimental to human health.

​Do you know what plants are growing on your property? Chances are there are some non-native invasive
plants on borders and wooded areas. Invasive plants are aggressive exotic plants that were introduced either
intentionally for ornamental purposes, or accidentally by hitchhiking on other plants or products. Invasives
thrive in a variety of growing conditions with no natural enemies to control their rapid spread as would occur
in their own place of origin.
