April 15
Seattle Sites of the Day:




Washington Native Plant Society


Native Plant Sale

"The native critters also appreciate having access to the plants they grew up with, evolutionarily speaking. ... food and shelter for the birds, bugs, and butterflies that once called this area home in greater numbers than now. Why is this useful? If the birds and bugs find plenty of places to live and hide, and plenty of tasty berries, pollen, or nectar, they will help control the pests that can tempt us to engage in chemical warfare."

Native Plant Sale, Earth Day, April 22, 10 AM to 4 PM, Bellevue Botanical Garden, 12001 Main St.
