Hello Gardeners,
More invasive weeds to look out for and remove from your plot:
Common wormwood (Artemisia absinthium): We are seeing this plant spread quickly in the gardens in the last year. It grows in large clumps and many plot borders have been taken over by it. It’s easiest to remove after it has rained (which seems to be most of the time lately). Please remove this plant if you find it in your garden. Some photos can be found here:
Creeping bellflower (Campanula rapunculoides): This is a very invasive plant with a nice purple flower. While it may seem like a nice addition to your garden, it will quickly take over. If you see this flower in your garden, please remove it right away and don’t allow it to flower or go to seed:
Fence etiquette: There are many fences in the Gardens, and this is not a problem if they are well-maintained. Fences need to be kept weeded. They can become overgrown quickly with invasive plants like bindweed, and they need to be weeded frequently. If you have climbing plants, please make sure they stay in your plot and don’t climb over a fence or into your neighbor’s plot.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
