Local native plants draw bees, butterflies, and birds to the garden

Maybe you’ve heard of sword ferns or salal.

Those are a couple native plants that are common around here.

But there’s a vast array of native flowers, trees, and shrubs that can offer big benefits to your garden.

Seattle Now stopped by a local demonstration garden to see what’s in bloom.

Thane Williams is demonstration garden manager for the Washington Native Plant Society, and he gave us a tour.
