Many of the plants that we call “invasive” are here because someone loved them. Someone braided the seeds into their hair or sewed them into their skirt hemline as their lives were uprooted. Other plants hitched rides in the muck of someone’s boots. Some were brought in intentionally for hedge lines, or experiments, or as reminders of childhood memories. Most of what we now consider to be invasive species were introduced in early colonization. Many have since lost their relationships to these plants that their Ancestors brought to Turtle Island.
