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.

Native Alternatives to Invasive Plants
Very useful book, especially for someone like me who is relatively new to understanding the importance of using native plants. I was a little surprised to see the recommendation to use trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), which is a native but also wildly difficult to control. They did not offer as an alternative the native Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata) which also has orange trumpet shaped flowers and is loved by hummingbirds and WON'T take over your yard.
Still, I came away with a lot of ideas for future gardening. There were just two things that would have made this a 5-star book for me: 1) little maps of the ranges for each of the plants instead of verbal descriptions ("Nova Scotia to Michigan, south to Alabama" is hard for me to picture and 2) a little more information about the invasives beyond their names and ranges.
