New Book: Non-Native Invasive Plants of Britain and Ireland

September 29, 2025

Non invasive Plants

This is a rare find: an ID book written by an Irish botanist and an Irish ecologist. We are delighted to share the work of Fran Giaquinto and Phoebe O’Brien.

  • A comprehensive and heavily illustrated identification guide to non-native invasive plants.
  • Includes a chart to quickly establish which species are controlled by national and European legislation.
  • Explains why invasive species are problematic, how they disperse and colonise, and what we can do to prevent them from arriving.

“This superb and useful book is a must-have for anyone who is responsible for managing a patch of British or Irish land or water, at a scale anywhere between that of a garden border and a national park.”
—Dr Julian Caldecott, ecologist and writer
