I share a bank with neighbours, who work and know nothing about horticulture. Any way I removed a shrub that was a pest plant, also lots of creepers that are growing over everything including my rhodos, I have now been banned from our shared bank and threatened with a fence. To whom do I notify regarding pest plants invasive agapanthas and creepers. they wish to keep as they like things hanging down and the smell, They do not understand term invasive or pest plants I am on North Shore auckland. I fear all the work I have done unnoticed and un thanked will be ruined by these ghasly creepers

I tried notifying local council but because they were pest plants and not noxious council said there was nothing they could do. Good luck with this, people who allow these type of plants are very irresponsible gardeners who spoil things for many others creating extra work to keep gardens nice. From my understanding pest plants cannot be moved, sold, propagated, given away plus more. I guess your neighbours are doing none of this. Just keep them under control on your side and you are allowed to return any thing which is cut off your side to their side. Perhaps a fence would be good but then guess you will have to front up with some cash.

I think if I were to get copies of photos of plants and copy of councils report of pest plants and put in their letter box may help. Be difficult to put fence in There is quite a steep slope. between us.

Councils only tend to get involved if it involves specific weeds which they're having problems with and trying to eradicate.
