Good book for a person interested in this topic. Not many other other books available for the lay person interested in avoiding growing plants that are not native to the area, and are also environmentally friendly.

This is a practical guide to propagating native plants. It is specific to the U.S. southeast to mid-atlantic regions. I have had pretty good results & the directions are very specific. I recommend it for beginners or seasoned gardeners.
