Welcome to The HPSW
What We Do
The Hardy Plant Society of Washington is a non-profit (501c3) formed to promote the study and enjoyment of hardy herbaceous plants and their companions, through lectures and workshops.
Have you ever wished for the 'good old days' when gardeners got together for meetings, weeding parties and potlucks, where we understand latin and share plants and seeds, where we listen to great speakers and have meaningful debates? Join us at the Hardy Plant Society of Washington, where everybody knows each other, works together, and where everyone's voice counts. We welcome you to join us.
Next Meeting
Monday, Nov 16th, 2009, 6:30-9:00 pm
Suzanne Ferris, Stephanie Jeter: The Oku Stone
NEW SITE: Center for Urban Horticulture, 3501 NE 41st St. Seattle, WA 98105
Suzanne Ferris and Stephanie Jeter are pleased to share their photographic impressions of Paul Smith and Julie King's respective gardens. Both Paul and Julie share an interest in antipodeal (southern hemisphere) plants. Both use many of the same plants but in different contexts. This talk will focus on the aesthetics of plant groupings. It is titled' The Oku Stone', a Japanese gardening term describing the third stone which is buried in the garden and not visible.
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 three brisk days in October, over 30 members visited 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. See the pics on the Programs page.
