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.

• 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

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.

Fall is here! This is a great season to mulch your beds to keep cool season weeds down and grow cover crops to protect your soil over the winter! Call the Garden Hotline for some great advice about materials for mulching and cover crops that grow well in the northwest including where to find supplies.
