Incorporating Native Plants in Your Garden @ Sustainable Living Center at the RE-Store

Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society
Chapter Meeting: Incorporating Native Plants in Your Garden
In-person, 7PM

Do you have to go whole hog and ditch your old garden favorites when you “go native?” Not necessarily. Tuck native perennials and shrubs into your existing garden and begin experiencing the benefits of gardening with native plants without wiping the slate clean first. Learn how to choose appropriate native (and near-native) plants for your environment. See examples of native plants incorporated into an existing garden and new garden areas planted mostly with natives.

Mark Turner specializes in photographing botanical subjects for books and magazines in a wide range of environments, especially Pacific Northwest gardens and wild lands. He is the photographer of three books from Timber Press, the award-winning Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest, Trees and Shrubs of the Pacific Northwest, and the new Weeds of the Pacific Northwest, published in February 2024. He’s a long-time member of WNPS, former Koma Kulshan chapter chair and current state board member.
