Weeds and Bushcare News
Garden plants jump the fence onto farms
March 7, 2005
A new report, Jumping the Garden Fence, commissioned by WWF-Australia, has revealed 40 per cent of the most damaging weeds to farmers and the grazing industry, have escaped from Australian gardens.
The report, written by senior CSIRO scientists, examines the impact of invasive garden plants on Australian agricultural land and natural ecosystems.
Particularly interesting is the section:
Canberra’s hedges – a case study of ornamentals emerging as weeds.
