Habitatdana,
Wow, I love your web site, photos, and first-person information! I found the page when searching for info about “Saskatoons.”
I am way over in the Adirondacks of NY and we have Juneberries in the wild along forest edges. But I was hoping to get a shorter and more productive set of shrubs for the interior of my yard.
Also, I am hoping to “be an Ark” to spread native plants that provide edibles to man and beast! The woods near my home are second-growth and unmanaged, so not the most supportive to life.
Anyways, your work is beautiful! Please include me in your email list. I am in the east, but the principles are the same. Thank-you!

Thank you so much for your website and all the plant info. We retired 2017 from the Bay Area of CA up to Port Townsend, WA. It is absolutely heaven here! We built our house on a .59 acre lot. The property has a 5% grade which is great for getting exercise while gardening — as if all the lunges aren’t enough!
We wanted to create a safe meadow for all the native animals and plants that were already here. So we seeded the east third with wildflowers and clover. Fawns and their doe’s have breakfast and dinner in the meadow now. That is always magical! We also have wild rabbits, so far 46 species of birds at our feeders in the west third, and of course squirrels, chipmunks, raptors, snakes, bugs, and neighbors’ dogs.
We also wanted to provide foods for bees and butterflies. Bees seem quite happy with the clover and wildflowers. We are beginning to see a few more butterflies. We hope they will ‘spread the word’!
We have planted herbs [deer like oregano! who knew?], and 10 fruit trees. The deer ate 7 of them. Our protections were not adequate! We are replacing those but with enhanced protections. We still welcome the deer simply because they are so precious!
I found your website because we are hoping to plant 3 berry bushes in the next year or so: Thimbleberry, Salmonberry, and Serviceberry. We haven’t been able to find them. Most nurseries have blueberries, rasp-berries, and blackberries. We are hoping to find them somewhere in the PNW. Do you know where we might find them?

Please include me on your email list. I am blessed to live in the Eden-like area of Hood Canal and want to learn much more about native plants.
