They often end up in our environment a Invasive plants known to pose a threat to Virginia’s forests, nativ fter being purchased and planted by well-meaning gardeners who don’ e grasslands, wetlands or waterways are still being sold in garden t realize the plant's invasive risk. your time and consideration. The bills prevent that by raising awareness for consumers at the point of sale and encouraging the purchase of non-invasive alternatives.
