Pollinator Pathway volunteer warns of ‘thuggish’ weeds in Wanstead

A local gardener is urging residents to help prevent the spread of two problematic weeds.

“Guernsey Fleabane and Knotgrass have become widespread across Wanstead. Pulling them up by the roots early is simple, but once established, it’s much harder. These thuggish weeds suppress the germination of wildflowers and other species and reduce the capacity of young plants to grow. Please look out for these damaging weeds in our streets and your gardens,” said Sally Parker, a Pollinator Pathway volunteer for Warren Road.
