Don't Plant a Pest

Last week on Garden Gossip, Invasive plant specialist, David Chang, gave us some great info on what to plant and what not to plant in our landscapes. Certainly we all know that Pampas Grass is not a friend in our gardens, but did you know that Fountain Grass is another invasive species that we need to avoid? These plants "jump the fence" and invade native environments, causing a real threat to our biodiversity. There are plenty of viable alternatives to the invasive species, find out more by visiting the California Invasive Plant Council website. www.cal-ipc.org
