Okay, thank you.

So, how can a person find out which plants are safe, then? (Without, I hope, getting into the whole question of what "safe" means... I mean, safe as in having not been so treated with persistent toxins.)

Is it necessary only to buy plants that are certified organic? Or is there a more direct route to finding out what we need to know?

I did hear from this local garden center that a nursery that ships across state lines has to disclose what they have used on the plants. But for a consumer to get that information sounds difficult indeed.
