“Bitter experience has shown that species that are invasive in gardens are also the ones that are likely to ‘jump the garden fence’ and cause problems in the wild; usually because they can regenerate very effectively and grow vigorously, outcompeting native species.The most effective way to reduce the impacts of these species is to identify them before they escape into wild - this is exactly what this project aims to achieve.”
