I’m enclosing an announcement for our first two talks of the fall season. We would appreciate it if you could post these events to colleagues and others who might be interested.
CPS 10-02-25 Camas Restoration
CPS 9-4-25 Best Rarely Propagated Native Plants
The Best Rarely Propagated Native Plants for Supporting IPM and Biodiversity
Washington is home to 3,800+ native plant species, but only a fraction make it into our landscapes. Many underused natives are pest-resistant, weed-fighting, biodiversity-boosting, and perfect for future-ready gardens & restoration projects.
Join horticulturist, botanist, and environmental scientist, Clayton Antieau as he highlights native species that deserve the spotlight.
