Native Plant Garden

A paved path winds through a park with green grass, tall evergreen trees, and deciduous trees with yellow autumn leaves under a bright sky at the Native Plant Garden in the Lower Sammamish Commons

In 2008 Linda Hines, a 2005 Washington Native Plant Society Steward, spearheaded an effort in cooperation with the City of Sammamish, the Washington Native Plant Society, and the Sammamish Garden Club. It was to convert approximately 20,000 sf of land in the Lower Sammamish Commons to a native plant sanctuary as an educational benefit for the public.

The joint project has continued through the years and has been supported by:

dedicated volunteers;
the City of Sammamish;
the National Wildlife Federation;
Sammamish Friends; and
King County.

The Native Plant Garden's history and development are highlighted in this presentation:
