How can you help make land more resilient and beneficial to local wildlife? Plant native plant species! The Chimacum Corner Farmstand’s Nursery’s native plant sale, on now, offers a wide range of locally-grown, carefully selected native plants at affordable prices.
The Nursery stock includes ground covers, ferns, vines, and many types of trees. Home landscapers can find deer-resistant plants like Pacific Wax Myrtle as well as flowering shrubs like Mock Orange, Red-flowering Currant, and Pacific Rhododendron. For landowners with large acreages, low-cost ($6 or less) bare-root conifers and shrubs are also available. All plants are selected for, and grown in, low elevations, at local small wholesale nurseries located in our region.
The Corner Nursery’s knowledgeable staff and extensive signage — including photos and information about size, growing conditions, and more — help customers learn how to select the “right plant for the right place.”
Native plants have many benefits for our ecosystem, our local wildlife, and ourselves. They provide critical shelter and sustenance for local wildlife, including birds, mammals, butterflies, and bees. Once established, they generally require less maintenance and water than non-native
plants, and don’t need artificial fertilizers or synthetic chemical pesticides to thrive. Many native plants also sequester carbon, which is essential for a healthy planet.
Established in 2010, the Chimacum Corner Farmstand has been a Jefferson Land Trust “Save the Land” Business Partner since 2013. Our “Save the Land” Business Partners generously support the Land Trust by donating a portion of their profits to us throughout the year. The Farmstand is located at the literal and figurative crossroads of East Jefferson County’s farming community at 9112 Rhody Drive and is open daily from 9:00 am – 7:00 pm.
