Grow Me Instead
Many other resources can help you stop the spread of invasive exotic plants. For example, the Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC) and partners have created the Grow Me Instead guide (PDF), available for download here and from the OIPC website.
The guide identifies common garden plants that invade natural areas, thereby reducing biodiversity and costing us all millions of dollars to control. It provides a list of beautiful non-invasive alternatives for each of these plants.
