Native Alternatives to Invasive Ornamentals
Native Alternatives to Invasive Ornamentals
Non-native invasive plants, like Japanese barberry and English ivy, damage our environment by invading natural areas and outcompeting native plants. To help stop the spread, the Delaware state legislature recently passed a law that banned the sale of 37 invasive plant species. What are these invasive species, and what can you replace them with if you have them in your yard? Join Leah Brooks as she presents native alternatives to invasive ornamentals and explains how making these substitutions helps protect our ecosystems.
