Last year Corey and I paid for a native landscape plan for our front and backyard. Even though it was on paper we could see our yard had the potential to look amazing. It currently though is filled with over sized bushes, large trees and must not forget seedlings from our neighbors trees. Slowly we (meaning Corey) has taken out unwanted bushes and planted hostas. This weekend we went to the 1/2 off THPRD native plant sale. The actual plant sale started on Earth day but we missed it. Each memorial day weekend they sale the left over plants for 1/2 price. Due to the weather being mostly nasty they didn't sale as much as they hoped and we reaped the benefit. The volunter there told us if we bought one plant $3.95 we could get the rest free. Being the newly married, just bought a house, changing jobs couple we couldn't resist such an offer. We bought so much my car was full. We end up with Evergreen Huckleberries, Salal, Alumroot, Vine Maples, Ferns and oregon grape. The picture is all of our goodies we got. We did end up donating the rest of the cash we had to THPRD. We both can not wait till next year to see what plants and what bargains we get. Happy Planting!!!
