“Some of them are angry”

In the hope of reducing the maintenance of his garden, a gardener set off to create a low -maintenance, environmentally friendly farm with local flowers. But what started as a well -common project quickly took an unexpected turn.

The gardener turned to confirming his error and published a picture of the seed package that they had used on the R/NativePlantgarding -Subreddit.

“I did a short search to ensure that they were not considered to be invasive in my state, and I couldn't find anything that said they were. Now I think I should have checked whether they were native to me,” the gardener wrote.

Many answers in the comments informed the original poster that two of the plants whose seeds were included in the package are considered to be invasive in the breath of the US baby, as the invasive plant atlas of the United States emerges, and the Bachelor button is considered invasive by some authorities, since it quickly sells itself and spreads quickly.

Invasive plants are problematic because they exceed local species for resources such as water and nutrients. You can also interfere with gardens and ecosystems that affect soil quality and cause damage because they spread quickly and are difficult to control.

The reconstruction of your garden with local plants is a good way to reduce the maintenance of the garden and save money for water and fertilizer. This is because local plants are adapted to the local conditions and that everything you need can preserve from the ground. Even a partial lawn replacement with a natural replacement – such as clover or buffalo grass – can save money and time and at the same time help the environment. Local plants support pollinators that are of crucial importance for the protection of our food supply.

However, it is very important that the seeds they buy are native, because they do not accidentally want to spend invasive species like this gardener plants and time to correct the error.

“So you don't get that much for your money. However, I would not call this a bad scenario.

Another added: “Some of them are angry, but you will be fine. The buttons of the bachelor house really stand up because of the blue so that they can easily pull up when they bloom.”
