We
know that native plants are beneficial in our backyard habitats, but
how do we choose what to plant and how do we get it started? Wednesday,
Jan. 21, 7 pm at the Camano Multipurpose Center, 141 N
East Camano Drive (the Blue Building), Kristin Marshall and Alex
Pittman of the Snohomish Conservation District will share with us how to
select healthy, appropriate plants for the yard, how to plant them, and
how to give them the good start they need to get established and
thrive. They will also introduce several planning tools, native plant
nurseries, and other resources available to backyard gardeners planning
native planting projects. Kristin, Habitat Restoration Specialist, and
Alex, Habitat Restoration Technician, have worked for the past several
years on stream and wetland habitat restoration projects in Western
Washington and specialize in planning, installation, and maintenance of
small and large-scale native planting projects. The Camano Wildlife
Habitat Project, sponsored by Friends of Camano Island Parks, hosts
public presentations the third Wednesday of the month. For information,
