CANCELLED

Dear Friends,

We’re very sorry to share that our April 26 event with Marianne Binetti has been cancelled. Marianne recently experienced a hiking accident that will require surgery, recovery and rest. We send her our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

If you purchased a ticket, we are happy to offer a full refund—or, if you prefer, you may choose to convert your ticket into a donation to the Mount Si High School senior scholarship fund, which the event was designed to support. Either option is warmly appreciated.

Please use the link below to let us know your preference, and we will take care of it promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
Warmly,
Amber Chaki, President

WHY PLANT NATIVES?

·      Native plants are healthier and stronger. Native plants are adapted to our climate of wet winters and dry summers.  Because they have evolved with the climate, seasonal patterns, water supply and soil conditions of our environment, native plants tend to establish easily and be naturally hardy. They are also part of a larger natural ecosystem.

·      Native plants support pollinators and provide habitat for wildlife.  Yes - bees, butterflies and birds, but native plants also help create homes for small animals and important soil organisms. Native plants create a natural habitat for wildlife that is both beneficial to the environment and adds life to your outdoor space.

·      Native plants help the environment, and you!  Once established, native plants require less water than most non-natives. They also resist native pests and diseases better and improve water quality by needing less fertilizer and no pesticides.  Native plants save resources and encourage a sense of stewardship.  That also means less costly inputs, and less work for the gardener! 

·      Native plants add beauty and more to your landscape.  Whether of formal or informal design, a garden with native plants can provide a wealth of colors, textures, varying heights, and bloom times over multiple seasons.  You don’t need to go full native; adding natives to your existing landscape can add beauty, birdsong, and beneficial insects while enhancing diversity in your garden.

·      Native plants help maintain and restore a local sense of place.  The Puget Sound/Western Cascades area of the Pacific Northwest is a unique and beautiful biome.  Using native plants in our gardens helps to maintain the natural landscape character that defines our region.  Why would we want them to look like anywhere else??
