The biggest enemy of any garden is not a pest, disease, or poison?it’s any plant with tougher survival skills than the plants it competes with. The best way to weed out the invaders is with this fiendishly clever guide to native plants that can seek and destroy the top 100 most unwelcome perennials, grasses, vines, shrubs, and trees. While replacing the invaders, the beautiful, hardy native plants described here also attract native birds and butterflies, while turning away their own enemy invaders. Word-and-picture guides provide tips on care and maintenance, while helpful ?at a glance” boxes depict shapes, sizes, best locations, and most attractive features of each native alternative.

  • Great handbook!

    A lot of people are just getting on the native plant wagon. Burrell was there 13 years ago. So we are able to buy a 13 year old book that has truly up to date information and is laid out in an easy to use manner and yet NOT pay full price. I say that's a big win!
