Plant Cultures- central aim ... is to convey the richness and complexity of links between Britain and South Asia, through the story of plants and people

Does this have anything to do with Plants for People, or People and Plants?

For another lens on this, see - as a topic - the global migration of species under "invasive species".

"Invasive species" are those simply new to an ecosystem - such as cane toads in Australia or Japanese Knotweed in North America.

I live at the approximate center of the Knotweed invasion, and my backyard has 70 or 80 feet tall trees completely enveloped by Knotweed - which is fairly similar to Kudzu and grows about as fast.

There must be some economic use for the stuff.

Anyway....... ( sorry for the derail )
