ILWACO — WSU Master Gardeners of Pacific County will present a workshop, “Enhancing your Landscape with Native Plants” from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Saturday, July 22, at Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, 115 SE Lake St, Ilwaco.

What makes a plant “native”? What factors make them an ideal choice for landscaping? Would you rather have landscaping that needs little care once established, or plants that need lots of water, fertilizer, monitoring and pest control?

Master gardeners will discuss ways to use native plants in the home landscape and suggest a wide variety of native plants to fit your needs. Deer, pest and drought resistant choices will be discussed.

“Find inspirations for your garden while exploring the many kinds of native plants on display at the workshop and in the demonstration garden,” the garden experts said in a press release. “Get to know their versatility and beauty and begin creating a vibrant living yard that provides year-round interest!”
