Invasive buckthorn makes up 28% of the trees in the Chicago Region! Invasive honeysuckle makes up an additional 3% of all of our trees.
These plants crowd out important natives, contaminate the soil, harm local animal populations, and cost tax payers millions of dollars each year in removal costs. Much buckthorn and honeysuckle is found in backyards and other private land- is there any in your yard? Check out the helpful tools on our Healthy Hedges campaign page, including this brochure and this brochure that make recommendations on shrubs that make great replacements for your buckthorn and honeysuckle. Check below to find the nurseries that carry them!
The list below represents nurseries that have answered a survey regarding native shrub inventory in March and August of each year. Inclusion of a nursery does not imply endorsement. Any local nursery that would like to be included should fill out the survey, which is live year-round, here.
