The Garden Hotline

The Garden Hotline's specialty is offering individualized solutions to garden problems.  For over 20 years, we have been providing our services FREE to home gardeners and landscape professionals.  Our mission is to educate the public on ways to reduce waste, conserve water and other natural resources, and minimize the use of chemicals.

Our staff is a team of professional horticulturalists and educators with experience and expertise in:

• Safe, effective pest and weed control

• Natural lawn care practices

• Plant care and disease solutions

• Plant selection

• Composting and soil building techniques

    ...and much, much more!

The Garden Hotline Staff also present workshops and seminars on natural yard care and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, provide articles for local and regional newsletters, and research innovative management practices.

We can send you the following brochures:

• Choosing the Right Plants for a Beautiful, Trouble-Free Garden

• Natural Pest, Weed & Disease Control

• Composting Yard and Food Waste at Home

• Growing Healthy Soil

• Natural Lawn Care

• How to be a Salmon Friendly Gardener

The Garden Hotline services and brochures are provided through the Natural Soil Building Program and are free to residents of King County and those serviced by the Saving Water Partnership.

Summer has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest! July and August are historically months of lowest rainfall in this area but also periods of highest water need for plants. Call us for ideas about smart watering techniques and to learn how to improve and protect your soil to reduce your summer water use.
