Any tips on a nursery in Seattle that might have a good collection of succulents?

Thanks, Todd. Both of those look like good resources. I especially liked what I found on Fourth Corner Nursery’s website.

Welcome Eric!

I agree with Todd, Pojar is great.

Sound Native Plants in Olympia is also particularly helpful if you have questions. Ben Alexander, the owner occasionally gives classes through the Coastal Training program (http://www.coastaltraining-wa.org/Course-Catalog/4.aspx) on vegetative shoreline stabilization. Sarah Speare Cooke’s Field guide to Common Native Wetland Plants of Western WA/NW OR is also great. She also occasionally teaches through the Coastal Training program and I think does some intensive plant ID classes at U of O too. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the recommendations, Betsy. It seems like there are quite a few good nurseries guided by well-educated nurserymen/women. I’m used to working with “natives”, but that term obviously means something different whenever you move to a new region. It’s good to have some resources to turn to now. Thanks again.
