Invasive plants can compromise biodiversity by taking up resources like light, nutrients, water, and space, which can have negative effects on native plants, animals, and insects.

Common garden weeds include wandering Tradescantia, blackberry, fennel, cherry plum, African olive, banana passionfruit, dandelion, Kikuyu grass, Sallisaw white clover, sow thistle, and three-cornered garlic.

Yes, environmental weeds can include Australian native plants that are in the wrong place, such as khuddam, under a model sweep, toss trim, and the Bluebell creeper.

To prevent invasive plants, avoid planting species that produce lots of seeds, suckers, or runners, be cautious of certain ornamental grass species and trees that produce suckers, choose locally native or indigenous plants suited to your area, and dispose of garden waste properly to prevent spreading.
