From the dry and rocky serpentine soil of the Siskiyou Mountains to the wet and lush Olymic Mountain Range this class will introduce you to native plants of the greater Pacific NW region worthy of growing in the garden. From the east side of the Cascades to the west we will focus on plants less commonly found in the garden setting that have great potential. This presentation will also introduce you to Great Plant Picks and the native plants which are in that program.
