Welcome to The HPSW
What We Do
HPSW is a grass-roots educational organization interested in the conservation, propagation, dissemination, and use of hardy herbaceous perennials in the landscape. Our goals are to build an educational garden to demonstrate and maintain unusual varieties and cultivars, to perform plant trials, and to build test plots for perennials, emphasizing the conservation of old and uncommon varieties. We host meetings about specific plant types, garden design, and horticultural techniques. We assist in rescuing gardens and plants threatened by change in the urban and suburban areas of Puget Sound.Next Meeting:

Seed Exchange
We strongly promote the exchange of rare and unusual seeds. Please see the Seed Exchange page for more information about the seeds we have available.
Garden Rescue
Over five brisk days in October, November, and December over 30 members returned to Marian Raitz's home to dig, divide, pot up, and save many of her treasures that she generously donated to our group for the Spring Plant Sale. There were many special plants that can't be found at nurseries anymore. We took over 15 truckloads to nearby holding sites generously donated by Kathy Norsworthy and Kandy Kroll. We saved 1850 pots and over 80 species. Thank you very much to all of the volunteers, even some potential new members!
