Hi,
Interested in natives, I just came upon your website. It’s so interesting, thanks. I live 1/2 the year (May-Oct.) in the Umpqua Valley & other half in San Diego.
I’m a member of a garden club in san diego & am wondering if you have any expertise in so cal natives/gardens. If so, might speaking in SD be of interest to you.
I am located in the Puget Sound Area of Washington State. I just do a few talks a year for local garden groups and other organizations in areas around Tacoma.

Hi Dana,
If you end up doing this tour, can you please let me know so that I can promote it to the WSU Kitsap Master Gardener group?
Thank you!

Would you be interested in teaching an ‘outstanding native plants for the landscape’ class for us in December as a run-up to our native plant sale? I had been thinking about this, but have had to kick it into high gear since I just heard about a grant funding source that would pay for room rental, advertising, a little token native plant for attendees, and a speaker’s fee for you. The grant application is due this Friday. Yikes! Anyway, we are thinking of having it on a Saturday morning in December at the Harbor History Museum in Gig Harbor (the grant is watershed specific), and having a power point presentation followed with a short plant walk in the native planting area behind the museum. What do you think? Would you be interested/available?
If we do not receive the grant, I am still trying to hold the class if I can use some funding from our plant sale budget.
Thanks-
Rene’
