Steilacoom Meeting Room

Learn and explore the sciences and various sustainability topics at your Pierce County Library! Join Master Gardener Gail Sklar for this talk by the Washington Native Plant Society.

Ready to increase your landscape’s biodiversity and grow more Natives in your garden while supporting our birds and native pollinators? Curious which native plants might work best in your garden? Attendees will learn basic design principles to incorporate our vast array of PNW natives into their new, existing, or small spaces. Gardening with native plants can be beautiful and beneficial.

Gail Sklar is past president of the Washington Native Plant Society and a member of the WSU Master Gardeners Speakers Bureau.
