Native Plants you just don't want

Personally for me it's anything with spines or extremely toxic sap like opuntia (would love a spineless cultivar tho) and bloodroot, despite being gorgeous. How about y'all?

Should I cut my grandma out of my life because she refuses to stop enjoying her colorful Home Depot atrocities?

I even gave her a Doug Tallamy book for Christmas, but clearly she hasn’t read it as she sent me a picture of all the annuals and nativars she bought this spring from Home Depot and Lowe’s. Is it even worth associating with these people?? She might as well just be shooting native birds out of the sky everyday and stepping on monarch caterpillars with her gardening practices.

I think Tree needs to go?

This trees roots span yard and pop suckers out of the ground relentlessly

Do I dig out the roots that cross the yard and keep tree or evict both?

Should I treat the lawn to retard or prevent the new tree shoots?

Garden signs for true patriots only! pt.2

Some of you loved my last post, and some of you hated it. So, as promised, I made more shitty signs for you freaks. Go forth and establish American garden dominance in your neighborhoods!

Husband and MIL planted burning bush while I was away

[Southeast Michigan, Suburban area]

Hello! My husband, MIL, and I have been working on redoing our garden beds for a few years now. I prefer native plants when possible, but am open to non-native ornamentals when they aren't considered invasive. My husband and MIL don't really care, but respect my preferences for my yard and try to honor them. But last week, I was traveling, and they bought a few plants, among them two burning bushes. I've just started going down the BB rabbit hole and now I'm not sure what to do with these brand new plants. I was hoping this sub could advise about how invasive they are in my area. I can look into returning them, or if they're super invasive I may just destroy the plants and cut my losses. Thanks!

(ps, since this is reddit I know some people will probably advise returning the husband/MIL too. They're not going anywhere--husband insists they asked at the garden center and were assured they weren't invasive 🙄)
