Garlic Mustard is an invasive plant here, which means it is an exotic species (not native) that outcompetes the native flora and fauna. The plant is able to outcompete the native plants because it does not have natural controls here such as animals, insects, and climate. Garlic Mustard is native to Europe and was introduced for medicinal and culinary use. They emerge in the spring so now is the time to get them out before they seed! The seeds can stay viable in the ground for up to 10 years!
