Plant Right Initiative Prevents Invasive Species in Landscaping

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Most of the plants used in landscaping do not invade or harm wildland areas. But a few vigorous species can - and do - escape from cultivation into open landscapes and cause a variety of ecological problems. They crowd out native plants, insects and animals, and can lead to increased flooding, fire and crop losses.

A few simple steps can prevent invasions before they start. We can be an environmentally responsible community - one that supports horticultural businesses and beautiful gardens!

  1. Phase out invasive plant species in your business
  2. Plant and promote beautiful non-invasive alternatives
  3. Share your success stories
  4. Follow the national voluntary codes of conduct to prevent horticultural invasion
PlantRight is a voluntary, proactive program for the horticultural community to prevent invasive plant introductions through horticulture. PlantRight was designed by the steering committee of California Horticultural Invasives Prevention (Cal-HIP) partnership to communicate the need to transition away from invasive plants in the gardening and landscaping trade.
