NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE - The Wild Garden
NATIVE PLANT . FIELD GUIDE . Revised March 2012. Hansen's Northwest NATIVE PLANT Database Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved NATIVE plants . He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved NATIVE plants --they were his passion. He built a Garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives . In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives .
