Check out this new homeowner's guide on making better (less toxic) choices 
for your garden. Several "plugs" for native plants!  Unfortunately, they 
do use a dandelion to represent the weed category. That poor medicinal 
plant (of which several species are native to North America) gets no 
respect!

The publication is produced by a regional consortium of elected state 
government officials in partnership with the King County (Washington 
State) Hazardous Waste Management Program. There is a pdf to the full 
publication, which is organized by pest (insect, slugs, disease, etc.). 
And there is also a cool interactive directory.
