We at KCD would like to extend and enormous thank you to everyone who joined us last week to pick up their native plants! This was our first year working with a rolling pickup. We hope it helped improve your experience with spending less time waiting in line and more time getting your plants in the ground!
This year’s sale distributed over 57,000 native trees, shrubs, and groundcover plants to community members throughout King County. The plants we distributed last week will enable King County community members to make meaningful impacts for restoration in their own backyards, as well as contribute toward implementing large-scale restoration projects in cities across the county. Native plants are not only beautiful, affordable, and hearty, they also invite important native pollinators your yard or garden. Attracting these pollinators to your green space, in turn, provides a number of other ecological benefits to our region. These plants are, moreover, adapted to our region and provide a host of benefits to our native wildlife like migratory birds, amphibians, and even salmon!
Special thanks to our Washington Conservation Corps crews for quick and accurate packing of orders and to the Tukwila Community Center for being such a great host.
We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
Preorders for the 2026 Native Plant Sale will start November of 2025. Make sure you’re first in line for next year! Sign up for the KCD newsletter or Plant Sale-specific alerts.
