Weedbusters Dirty Weekends

Weeds are wrecking our natural areas - bush, coastal areas, wetlands, and parks and reserves – by crowding and smothering out the native plants that should be growing there. Many of these weedy ornamental species are still growing in peoples’ gardens, and are spread into natural areas by birds, wind and the dumping of garden waste. Spring is the perfect time to get into the garden and have a clear out in time for a new planting season. During October each year, Weedbusters encourages gardeners to ‘have a dirty weekend in their own backyard’, by identifying any weedy ornamental species that might be growing on their properties, and replacing them with non-weedy alternatives from local garden centres.
