This weekend will be the biggest annual fundraiser for the Central Puget Sound (King County) chapter of Washington Native Plant Society. It's the main way we fund our educational booth, which travels to many events, and especially our Native Plant Stewardship trainings, which are free and open to the public. Saturday, May 9, 10-4 Bellevue Botanical Garden, 12001 Main St., Bellevue, 98005 Hundreds of species & thousands of plants native to Washington, including wildflowers, ferns, grasses, sedges, shrubs, & trees, all with basic cultivation info. Mostly things native to the Puget Sound Trough, plus some from the Gorge and eastern Washington. Also a large selection of books (plus we hope to have Cedar Grove compost). Cash, checks & Visa/Mastercard accepted. More info at www.wnps.org, including a list of species offered. Contact 206-527-3210 or wnps@wnps.org. Bring your own boxes or trays please! Rain or shine, come prepared. And please come early if you want the best selection, as we aren't always able to get as much as we'd like of the species in high demand. ><><><><><><>< Jackson Science Editing
