Gardening with Pacific Northwest Native Plants: An Ecological Approach is a part of the OSU Master Naturalist & Tualatin SWCD Summer 2020 Webinar Series. In this webinar, we explore how you can incorporate native plants into your landscape. We discuss what makes a plant “native”, situate native plants in the context of native ecosystems, and how these ecosystems can be adopted into for the home garden.
