Planting native species provides a myriad of benefits. Plants that are native to area are adapted to our local climate and soil types. This is advantageous as these plants don’t need as much water and provide critical food and habitat for important insects and animals.
For landowners looking for smaller quantities we recommend visiting a native plant nursery that specializes in Eastern WA plants.
Here’s a few options to get you started:
- Derby Canyon Natives: derbycanyonnatives.com or (509) 548-9404
- BFI Native Seed: https://www.bfinativeseeds.com/
- Methow Natives: http://methownative.com/
Landowners looking to do large scale restoration with bare root stock can order directly from the WA Association of Conservation Districts Plant Materials Center in Bow, WA. Visit: www.wacdpmc.org or call (360) 757-1094.
