Avoid planting invasives

There have already been some articles about spring planting in the Herald Times. When shopping for plants, be sure to avoid invasive non-native species, such as Purple Loosestrife, Burning Bush, Bradford Pears, and bush honeysuckles. The MC-IRIS group recommends looking for native plants at local dealers who particpate in the Go Green, Grow Native program. See www.mc-iris.org for details.
