Growing in the Garden Speaker Series
Our September Growing in the Garden feature speaker is Patrick Loafman, botanist and author. Over the past ten years he has found approximately 29 native plant species not formerly known for the Olympic Peninsula and has located others not observed for many decades if not centuries. One example is the Cascades parsley-fern (Cryptogramma cascadensis) collected in 1890 and to his knowledge it has not been seen here since.
