Invasive plants are becoming a leading topic of environmental concern for community groups, land managers, and garden businesses. To help people better understand the top 10 invasive plants in BC’s Lower Mainland, and make more informed growing and purchasing choices, we have produced an information brochure and these easy-to-download plant profile sheets. We have also produced a poster ideal for businesses that want to educate consumers on available market alternatives to invasive plants.
