Since 2007, Meijer has partnered with The Nature Conservancy to help our customers choose plants native to our region, that are not likely to become the next invasive plant taking over the weeds and wetlands near our homes.
You can make a difference by choosing non-invasive plants from the meijer Garden Center, recommended by The Nature Conservancy. Let's work together to make better choices to preserve our planet.

What is an invasive plant? An invasive plant is one that has negative effects on our economy, environment or human health. They grow and reproduce rapidly, causing major changes to the areas where they become setablished. What Harm do they cause? An invasive species can very quickly overwhelm native plants by reducing the availability or water nutrients, light and space. As they take over an area, their presence causes erosion and deprives wildlife of their natural diet and habitat. Why are non-invasive plants important to me? The U.S. spends $120 billion annually on the control and the impact of more than 800 invasive species infestations. This does not account for thevalue of species extinctions and losses in biodiversity, ecosystems, services and aestetics.
