Plant Sale – NPAW – Plus
Spring Native Plant Sale
by WNPS on May 7th 2011, 10 am – 4 pm, at the Bellevue Botanical Garden, 12001 Main St., Bellevue.
Our sale will have over 100 species including ground covers, perennials, shrubs and trees that are ideal for our ecology.
Botanical and gardening books will be for sale and WNPS experts will be available to answer questions. Help sustain biodiversity by using native plants in your garden. You can plant your garden for beauty, bugs, birds and other critters that will provide so much more reward than just the usual “look-at” garden just by using native plants.
