This means gardens everywhere are springing back to life and so are the weeds.
If you’re thinking of selling, a tidy garden is a must – and you’ll also be doing the local creek catchments a favour.
Save Our Waterways Now has identified a “dirty dozen” of Brisbane weeds that threaten the Enoggera Creek catchment and surrounds.
You might be surprised to learn what’s on their “Weeds to Whack” hit list. Some Brisbane favourites, like the shady Camphor Laurel tree, can actually spring up in prolific numbers and crowd out native vegetation that our local critters rely on.
So get to know your garden and you’ll be doing a good deed for more than just your street appeal.
Watch out for these weeds and whack ‘em when you see them!
