Weeds are everywhere. If you’ve ever been frustrated by weeds erupting into your garden, overgrowing your favourite reserve or popping up in your paddock, then this book is for you. Whether it’s privet or lantana, bitou bush or serrated tussock, Sonia Graham invites you to consider how we can rethink weeds from being pesky and pervasive to a problem that we can solve together.

The book presents seven stories of communities who have worked to control weeds over the past 30 years. It shares how Landcare groups have achieved positive environmental change and forged close-knit social networks to effectively respond to bushfires, floods and a pandemic.

Bringing insights garnered from social research, In the Weeds offers fascinating stories and practical suggestions for starting a local environment group or making an existing group stronger. From developing achievable goals, to shared leadership and the need for coffee and cake, this book explains step-by-step how to grow and nourish a thriving community.

'This wonderful book by Sonia Graham will find a home with all those who care about our environment and protecting natural ecosystems.' – Brett Summerell, Chief Scientist, Botanic Gardens of Sydney

Industry Reviews

From the Foreword:

"In the Weeds is an invaluable primer helping us better understand why and how we can greatly amplify efforts on the weed front, building community and natural well being at the same time. In the Weeds shows us that taking on weeds can be a win-win; increasing social capital and restoring degraded lands. So let this be a national project that brings us together - now."
