Invasive Plant Check

Invasive Plant Check is an AI-assisted educational tool that helps you scan or upload plant photos, review possible plant matches, and learn safer next steps.

The current version focuses on plants listed as prohibited under the City of Toronto's Turfgrass and Prohibited Plants bylaw (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 489). You can browse plant profiles, compare growth stages, review safety risks, and read general safe-removal guidance.
