Native Plant Sale, May 18th at the Klamath County Museum

The Klamath Basin Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon, in cooperation with the Klamath
County Museum and the Klamath County Master Gardeners, has scheduled a native plant sale for
Saturday, May 18th at the Museum. The Master Gardeners and Chapter members have propagated
about 70% of the 87 species of plants available at this year’s sale. WinterCreek Restoration and
Nursery in Bend will provide the remaining plants.

The Chapter conservatively estimates they’ll have more that 1,500 plants available to the public.
Proceeds of the sale will be applied to a revision and reprint of the 2009 edition of “Common Plants of
the Upper Klamath Basin,” which has been out of print and unavailable for a number of years. This
regional field guide to Klamath Basin native plants is geared to the general public while also appealing
to natural resource professionals and botanists, and remains in high demand.

“We’ve been astounded by the public’s interest in growing native plants” said Chapter President Kerry
Johnston. “In addition to saving water, a native plant garden attracts a wide variety of pollinators and
birds, increasing diversity and interest in your yard.”
