As a Steward or Steward’s Assistant for a particular area in the garden

Each garden area mimics a Northwest native ecosystem. Each has a Steward who tends to the special needs there.

The Steward also helps to decide which plants will be procured and planted there.

Stewards should plan to spend 2-3 hours per week. This provides an opportunity for more learning because of their focused involvement.

Stewards work as a team, supporting and learning from one another.

“Thanks for all your good work with the native plant garden. I really value that. It’s such a good thing. We had my daughters birthday party at the (salmon) shelter. It was so nice to be there with all native plants around us with signs on them. I was reminded again of how special that place really is.”
