DEATH IN THE GARDEN

In each garden there are unloved, unwanted plants. They arrive silently, settle in, set up roots and begin to take over your landscape. Nonnative plants are particularly skilled at this strategy or the “takeover” of your garden. For years, gardeners used chemicals as a means of controlling "the weeds", which has led to adverse results. This included the decline of beneficial insects, animals as well as the inadvertent poisoning of adjacent plants. And also the harm to your physical well being needs to be considered.  READ MORE
