<div>Unless you're putting in a parking lot or high rise, something is always going to come back no matter what tool is used. The important thing which Duncan has identified and much research has shown is that natives or desirable plants can be established,
but it requires knowledge of what is there, what you want to be there, and what will be required to get it there. Rarely are situations ever the same. </div>

native wildflower, shrub and tree seeds just waiting to come up. At least that's what happened at Wyman Park Dell in Baltimore. Almost all invasives are dead with heavy infestations on 6 acres of woodlands and tons of native plants came up. We just have
minor maintenance each year from here on out. If anyone wants a tour, just holler.</span></div>
