Episode Details

Invasive plants like the Spanish bluebell and hottentot fig are wreaking havoc in Ireland, outcompeting native species and threatening biodiversity. Despite being banned under Irish and EU law, these plants are still available for sale, even online. The penalties for breaking these laws are severe, but enforcement is challenging due to false names and skepticism from nursery owners. The Irish Wildlife Trust is pushing for more action to expand the list of banned plants and protect native species.
