Pacific Northwest
Native Plants
West of the Cascades

Sierra Club

Our Pacific Northwest region is rich in diversity of native Disporum smithii--Smith's fairy bells plants. On many of my hikes in the Northwest region, I marvel at the landscape design Mother Nature puts forth with seemingly little effort. My efforts pale in comparison as I try to mimic nature's landscapes in my own garden.

Washington Wildings is devoted to bringing our wonderful native plants back into our gardens, to give us a new appreciation for plants we often times view as common. Whether you enjoy them on nature walks, integrate them in with exotics in your garden or plan a native-only garden, native plants bring beauty into our lives.
