About
Native plants are beautiful and functional. They feed our native pollinators and birds - and us! And some are so easy to grow in your garden. On this ride you’ll see some examples of native plant gardens and get some tips for growing native plants in your own garden, whether sunny or shady. We’ll end with a tour of established native plantings at Blueberry Learning Farm in Cully - some planted nearly 20 years ago. (And yes, you'll get to sample some berries!). We should arrive at the farm by 7:40 and finish the tour by 8 or so. Sunset is at 8:11 and we have an amazing view from the back yard! Feel free to stick around and watch it with us!
