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.
