However, some of the selections on the Favorite Pacific Northwest Plants list may be available only from nurseries that specialize in native plants. To identify native plant nurseries, go to the Washington Native Plant Society (WNPS) website at www.wnps.org and click on “Landscaping,” then on “Native Plant & Seed Sources.” You can also purchase natives at the WNPS plant sales, also listed on their site. Or, simply ask your favorite nursery if they will order native plants for you.
