Unions……………no!!!!! They are the model of the old and besides there strengths are in numbers so I assuming you are talking about a international union. Most landscape architects work in small firms and the last thing they need is more regulations and intrusion by foreign  bodies that only care about their parasitic existence…….
 
 

I think you can acheive your goals using natives….and especially drought tolerant plant species. I mean it is really a matter of educating your clients to the importance of using both natives and drought tolerant material. I gotta believe that the retail design/look will come around to a look that will require natives/drought tolerant…..
