BBC: Gardening in the UK - Get a different perspective on gardening from a culture that highly values it. Very similar climate makes the info relevant to us yanks in the PNW.

Royal Horticultural Society - Anglophile? Another relevant UK website for gardeners.

Dave's Garden - A good forum resource worth checking out. However, some items are limited to paid members only.

Northwest Horticultural Society - Lectures, classes, symposiums, hooray!

LHHL- Landscape and Human Health Laboratory! if you think that's a cumbersome name, it used to be called Human-Environment Research Laboratory or HERL. Catchy, not.

Take a look, it's not a hard read and is very surprising.

IMEX (King County's Industrial Exchange site, sometimes good stuff, and sometimes free!, you never know, all sorts of items, kind of like craigslist for building materials)
