Our neighbor has bees, so we have to be careful what we use on our lawn. We have an overabundance of violets this year. We have 2 acres that we mow and treat.
Does anyone know how to get rid of wild violets in a safe manner so as to not kill any bees?

I’m curious. Violets sound lovely. What’s the problem with them?
You can put up a sign stating “Free Violet sets”! Your neighbors or local garden club will gladly take them!!!! Give them a holler!
Vickie,
We have a nextdoor neighbor who has nothing but violets and weeds which creep over into our yard (my husband doesn't like weeds) here are some good ideas- and the violets you have and I get from my neighbor are not like the violets we grow indoors at all they are weeds and grow too fast

It is too hot in Texas to have pretty flowers. Cacti flourish here. I would love to have your pesky violets😊
