Gardening with Native Plants 

Derby Canyon Natives

Derby Canyon Natives, located along the Wenatchee River near Peshastin, WA, is a specialty nursery growing wildflowers, grasses, shrubs and trees native to Central Washington. Since 2002 they have provided container-grown plants produced from seeds and cuttings collected from the region’s varied habitats, including shrub-steppe, forest and riparian zones.

All plants are source-identified (traced to their collection location) and locally adapted (grown in the Wenatchee Valley and acclimated to Central Washington conditions). Derby Canyon Natives produces over 120 species of plants for sale that are suitable for:

Landscaping – using native plants around homes and businesses to create areas that are beautiful, need few or no inputs of water, fertilizer, pesticides and pruning, and are attractive to birds and other wildlife.

Restoration – restoring and revegetating disturbed areas following construction, road-building, fire and other activities that have altered or damaged native habitats.

Mel Asher is the owner of Derby Canyon Natives. She and her staff will be sharing her knowledge about gardening with native plants. 

When: Wednesday, April 15th 11am-1pm, plants will be available for purchase after the tour. **we will meet afterwards for lunch in Leavenworth after the event, place TBD.**

Where: 9750 Derby Canyon Rd, Peshastin
