Serving Skagit, Island, and Northern Snohomish counties, the Salal Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society (WNPS) is dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and study of the native plants of Washington and to the education of the public on the values of native flora and its habitat.

We had a great time visiting the Salal Chapter and talking with Brenda Cunningham who helps to keep the group organized from actual work in the garden, to scheduling, and meetings. This is the 25th year for the Mt Vernon Chapter and 40 years for the Washington Native Plant Society.  Be sure to check out the website and consider joining wnps.org/salal/index2.html
