The Nursery & Garden industry is concerned about invasive plants as they are about other environmental issues. As an industry we are committed to reducing the impact that weeds have on our environment. To achieve this important goal we need to communicate with and educate industry, government, the gardening consumer and other key stakeholders about the relationship between industry and invasive plants.
There is no doubt that as an industry we have contributed to the sale of invasive plants and potentially invasive plants in the past. This was done in a time when we, as a community, were not as concerned about such issues. Our attitude has changed and we are now an active participant in the battle against weeds. We have supplied the following information and resources about the nursery industry and invasive plants.
• Industry position on weeds
• Weed Laws and lists in Victoria
