Are Your Plants Safe?
Neonicotinoids, a class of pesticide extremely toxic to bees and other pollinators, are often used in the production of ornamental trees, shrubs, and flowers commonly purchased for home and business landscaping. The chemical, called a ‘systemic,’ moves throughout the entire plant, making pollen and nectar in flowers toxic- learn more here. NCAP researched Northwest nurseries to discover the ones growing neonic-free and abstaining from the sale of neonics. Please vote with your dollar by supporting these nurseries!
If you are a neonic-free nursery in the Northwest, please take this brief survey so we can add you to our list!
Retailers Selling Neonic-Free Plants
This list contains retailers who sell ornamental plants that are neonic-free. Also included with a note are retailers who carry some neonic-free plants and identify them through signage or labeling, and retailers who offer at least 2/3 of their stock as neonic-free and can readily identify this stock to customers. NCAP determined nursery suitability for this list based on self-reported information obtained from nursery representatives. NCAP has not independently verified the absence of neonicotinoids in plants from these nurseries via laboratory analysis.
