Native plant lovers take note – the Salish Seeds Project’s annual fall wildflower sale is almost here. Reserve plants online September 13 – 19, then pick them up on Saturday, October 1 at locations on San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, Shaw, and Waldron islands. All plants are produced locally by the Salish Seeds Project, a joint program of the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank and the San Juan Preservation Trust. The sale geos “LIVE” online at 9am on Tuesday, September 13 on the Land Bank’s website at sjclandbank.org.
Quantities are limited. Early shopping is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Native wildflowers are beautiful, attract pollinators and other wildlife, and are perfectly adapted to our island habitats. The 2022 fall sale features over 20 species of plants in 4” pots, including past favorites Canada goldenrod, red-flowering currant, and seashore lupine. Seed packets and native onion bulbs will also be available. An advance guide to the sale, featuring descriptions and photos of the plants, is available now on the Salish Seeds Project webpage.
The price per plant offsets the cost of production, allowing the Land Bank to provide this community service.
