Agree with Ross!
 

Please do addd these listed and those mentioned by Ross -English Ivy, Japanese Stilt Grass, and Linden Viburnum. Driving through the Shenandoah Valley and Charlottesville areas and south on 29, kudzu is killing our forests, Japanese Stilt Weed invades our property despite constant pulling and we’re also battling mustard and privet. We need to continue education to consumers about the benefits of native plants to wildlife, including bees for agricultural needs, as well as the innocent destructive impact of buying things like English, Ivy, etc. at garden stores.
