The Plant Sale is Here!
The season we've all been waiting for.
Why native plants?
- They’re adapted to the soil, hydrology, and climate.
- They’ve already evolved defenses against diseases and pests that are found in your region.Â
- They can help both stabilize and enrich the soil.
- They attract the types of wildlife you actually want in your garden.

Pat and Tony own a bluff with a beautiful view of the Puget Sound, but it’s not always acting pretty. It’s sandy, sensitive and has even had some landslides. They started looking into plants that would help protect and stabilize their land, and after connecting with their local conservation district, they discovered the native plant sale.
