A splendid institution. It's like eBay without the money. Locally based online groups where people offer stuff they no longer need and can afford to give away. A great asset to people on low incomes, and keeps stuff out of landfill. The more people join, the better it works. It's free to register.
Are you sure of your ID? Have a look at Lesser Celandine
That’s my thought too ... never heard of invasive Marsh Marigolds in borders and lawns and it seems way too early for it to be in flower, whereas Lesser Celandine is well known for spreading over beds and lawns ... it’s also well known for being one of the first wild flowers of spring.
I'd find it hard to believe it's march marigold, unles the entire garden is boggy. We had huge amounts of it at a previous house, where there was lots of boggy ground and ponds. Even then, I couldn't have described it as invasive. The clumps were well behaved and we could have dug them out anywhere we didn't want them. We didn't as it was one of the few things rabbits didn't eat. Far more likely to be celandine, which is all over the verges and hedgerows just now, coming into flower.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think its celendine as well, I’ve tried to get rid of some of it in the borders, as I plant something I take out as many little bulbs as I can get. Better now and i just leave a few, ones on the grass are no problem, they’ll soon die down you can just mow over them.

Hey, I'm planting it, at least in some of the damp woody bits. And we put it in beds in our previous place (heavy clay) and it was fine - it does its thing and then dies down. Looking for 'Brazen Hussy' at the moment.

Methinks clarification is required.
