Our creekside garden has over 200 species of Oregon native plants in all stages of maturity, from mature trees on the creek, to 15-year old native plantings, new transplants, seedlings, and everything in between . We have mixed shrub borders, wet and dry wildflower meadows, nurse logs, snags, rain garden, bat house, greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, garden art, and pond. We removed invasives in 2011, and in February 2012, planted 220 bare-root native trees and shrubs in the riparian zone. The oak, cedar, ash, willow and maple are now 10-30 feet tall, and the osoberry, twinberry, and nine-bark are giant clumps. Over the years, we also reduced lawn, removed ornamentals, filled in beds with hundreds of natives, and allowed existing natives like fringe cup, sedges, and ferns to recolonize established beds and borders. We’ve replaced our front lawn with mostly native plantings on sculpted berms, and have a wildlife pond with native plantings in the backyard.
