Purchase Native Plants!
PlayCleanGo Awareness Week
June 1-8, 2024
|
Celebrate PlayCleanGo Awareness Week by doing your part to prevent the spread of invasive species while gardening! Purchase native plants and clean your tools between uses. Your garden will thank you!
 Take Action: Gardening
- Buy plants native to your area at a reputable nursery.
- Avoid nonnative plants that self-seed because they have the potential to move outside of your garden.
- Minimize the amount of plant splitting/sharing with other gardeners to avoid spreading invasive worm castings.
- So that you do not spread disease from plant to plant, clean your tools between uses.
- Clippings and yard waste that could contain invasive species should be disposed properly.
- If composting, ensure the pile has 30 days of exposure to temperatures of 145 degrees or more to kill seeds from tougher weed species.
