Alien Invasion! Our native creatures need native plants but so much that is being grown is not from this area. In some cases, these plants are out-competing our native species making it difficult for our native wildlife to survive. This presentation will help you to spot invasive plants in our gardens and garden centres and provide you with suggestions about what to plant instead.
