Quotes by Barbara Pleasant (?)

“They do a terrible job of adapting to natural ecosystems (like a mature forest or grassy prairie). If you were to abandon your garden tomorrow and let nature have its way with the place, most plants that fit into the category of garden weeds would be gone within a few years. Garden weeds depend on humans to provide them with an open place to grow, and they further benefit from our efforts to keep garden soil fertile and moist. Where humans cultivate, garden weeds grow.”
― Barbara Pleasant, Controlling Garden Weeds: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-171

“Among houseplants, the most efficient air purifiers are heavy transpirers, or species that cycle a lot of water from roots to leaves, such as palms, rubber plants, and corn plants (Dracaena). However, any green plant deserves some credit for making indoor air better for people to breathe.”

“Two characteristics are shared by many weeds: They are pollinated by wind, and they have inconspicuous flowers. All of the grassy weeds are wind pollinated, as are docks, lambsquarters, pig-weeds, the plantains, ragweeds, and many other pesky plants.”
