Invasive plants in our community

Hello Neighbours,
Below are recent news articles about two invasive plants in our neighbourhood sent to us by a community member.  I inherited a ton of creeping bellflower in my yard from the previous owner. It is not fun to deal with so pull it when you see it. I've also had foxtail spears work their way deep into my pet's skin. I have heard of dogs who have had undetected spears travel through out their bodies and into their vital organs so check your pets regularly when they've been out walking.
