Native Garden Project

Ground breaking began in March for the native plant garden located at historic Woodstock Farm on Chuckanut Drive, with volunteers from the NWS Chapter and the City of Bellingham coming together to lay mulch in preparation for planting.

The farmstead was acquired by the City with a vision of creating a public heritage site, including structural and landscape features. In addition, the acquisition of the farm secured critical habitat and connected existing greenways. The native garden project is a key step in fulfilling the city’s vision and enhancing habitat.

The objectives of the native garden include supporting the existing ecosystem, improving water quality, reducing the occurrence of invasive, non-native plant species, and providing a scenic landscape. Visitors to the garden will gain an understanding of how to garden in an ecologically sensitive manner.

The NWS Chapter is responsible for designing, planting, and maintaining the garden. Fall planting happened November 3, 2007 and spring planting is to be announced in 2008. For more information contact bay@plantasnativas.com
