If you’re cleaning up the gardens at your cottage, remember not to dump any plant material into the woods or natural areas. Some ornamental plants can be invasive when they escape the garden, outcompeting native species that are essential to local wildlife and biodiversity.

Getting the garden sorted before winter?

Be sure to protect the environment from harmful #InvasiveSpecies by disposing of your plants responsibly.

There are some great resources here https://t.co/g2Y3izKvcV on how to #BePlantWise

Check it out and happy gardening 😊

What happens when you release your pets in the wild? I end up with two wild goldfish that can’t fit in my hands! Please don’t toss unwanted fish in lakes and rivers - they can survive, grow, and reproduce.

Many invasive species die back in the winter, but there are a few evergreen invasives that you can continue to keep a look out for in the colder months:

Himalyan Blackberry, Yellow Lamium, and English Ivy
