Plants
Through floristic assessments, the City of Dublin knows of its amazing plant diversity. Rock Cress, Drummond's Aster, Rattlesnake Fern, and Marsh Marigold, all endangered or county records, have been found in Dublin's parks along with a more common, but diverse list of plants. Regardless of the time of year residents can find something blooming with each season taking on its own color scheme.

Invasive Plants
Dublin is home to several of the plants listed on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources top ten most invasive plants. The Department reports that about one quarter of all plants currently in the state of Ohio are non-native. The City of Dublin encourages residents to plant native perennials.
The City's Green Team along with scouting groups works on non native plant eradication in designated areas. If you are interested in doing more, let us know. Please note that it is illegal to remove any plant from public property. If you are interested in learning or doing more, please contact us.
