        dozen visitors. Now thousands of visitors from all over the
        world come to see hundreds of cataloged and labeled plants.

      • is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization emphasizing
        education, appreciation and conservation.

        of local residents and professional botanists from
        throughout the Pacific Northwest who volunteer their
        expertise to insure accurate plant identification.
