Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose.
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Pest Plant list
Pest plants targeted for Park Buffer works
Moth plant
Wild ginger
Moth plant is a climbing vine that smothers native plants. It flowers Dec-May, producing large fruit filled with hundreds of parachute-like seeds. The poisonous milky latex in stems, leaves and roots can cause dermatitis.
Wild ginger has large green leaves, tall yellow or creamy yellow flowers, and fleshy orange fruits. It forms dense stands suppressing other plants and disrupting nutrient cycling, potentially leading to increased soil erosion.
Dig or pull out. Remove and dispose of pods in landfill or greenwaste to stop seed germination. Wear gloves.
Cut stems and dig out rhizomes. Dispose of rhizomes and seeds in landfill or green waste.
Cut and paste freshly cut base of stems with Metsulfuron gel. Repeat 3 times within a year.
Apply Metsulfuron gel to cut stumps and rhizomes. Repeat three times within a year.
Rhamnus
Woolly nightshade
Rhamnus is a very hardy evergreen shrub up to 5 m high. It has glossy leaves, fragrant green flowers and berries that ripen from red to black. It forms dense stands, preventing the growth of native plants and forest regeneration.
Woolly nightshade has furry grey/green leaves, purple flowers, and yellow berries; can grow into a small tree forming dense strands. Berries are poisonous, especially to children. Touching may cause skin irritation and respiratory issues.
Dig out the plant. Dispose of seeds in landfill or green waste to prevent seed germination..
Dig out or pull out and dispose of seeds to landfill or green waste. Wear gloves.
Cut stump and paste it with Metsulfuron gel or ringbark stem and paste with Metsulfuron gel.
Cut and paste with double strength glyphosate or picloram gel. Repeat three times within a year.
Bushy asparagus
Climbing asparagus
Bushy asparagus is a scrambling, multi-stemmed herb with tuberous roots forming a thick mat. It has white flowers Oct-March, producing red berries. Dense infestations supress natives.
Climbing asparagus has thin stems with small scaly leaves. It produces white flowers in spring followed by orange berries. Rapidly growing even in shade, it scrambles up trees and along the ground quickly smothering natives.
Dig out and dispose of tubers, rhizomes, and seeds. Rot in a covered water barrel or send to landfill or greenwaste.
