Episode Details

Canada’s cities are cracking down on invasive plants, with local bylaws already in place in places like Nanaimo and Surrey — but advocates say it’s time for a national solution. The Canadian Coalition for Invasive Plant Regulation calls for federal leadership, a unified database, and clear labeling to curb the spread of harmful species, aiming to cut their impact by 50% by 2030. While some garden centers worry about lost sales, experts say most are ready to adapt — because protecting ecosystems and avoiding costly future cleanups is the real win. This isn’t just about gardens; it’s about understanding how every plant we choose ripples through nature.
