The Nature Steward's Nursery has a variety of Native Plants and Trees.
The Vine Maple, considered a small tree, is great for urban landscapes.
It's colorful in the Fall and trimmable, so you can keep it contained.
Another favorite is Serviceberry, a bush that provides berries for both humans and wildlife.
Yes, we have more native Camus, Red Flowering currant, Mock Orange and more!
We have shade plants, sun plants, drought tolerant plants, grounds covers, and ferns.
Contact Grace at 425-228-7927 for information about the fundraiser plant sales.
Phase 1, in 2020, Weed Warriors removed invasive blackberries from 33,000 square feet wetland. The pile of blackberry canes and roots was approximately 5,000 cubic feet.
Phase 2, in 2021, we removed more blackberry roots, followed by a planting of 350 native wetland trees and shrubs.
Phase 3, in 2022 and 2023, we will continue the restoration effort!
The garden stage, irrigation system, and greenhouse has solar power, making the garden an Eco-friendly, off-the-grid garden of the future.
