Oregon is a gardener’s dream! Our climate allows us to showcase a wide variety of plants from around the world. In fact, nursery crops are Oregon’s number one agricultural commodity.

Unfortunately, a few plants cause disruption by freely spreading elsewhere, sometimes becoming problems that threaten other plants, wildlife, and water quality. GardenSmart Oregon: A Guide to Non-Invasive Plants is a tool for Oregon gardeners who are concerned about invasive plant species. The guide lists plants that tend to be invasive, and offers excellent recommendations of alternatives.
