Other Plants Creeping Snowberry & MilkweedsThis kiosk’s roof is seeded with Milkweed, a plant essential for Monarch Butter lies: no Milkweed, no Monarchs. It’s a common rule: no native plants, no native insects, and then no or few native birds. This area also hosts a 2nd native snowberry type, Creeping Snowberry, a ground cover once often found here. 1/2 of the State of Delaware’s native plants are extinct or endangered. We are unthinkingly following eastern states’ exterminations.

Northwest Native Shrubs & FernsSnowberryNo other plant in the world is like a Snowberry with it delicate egg-white berries. Found throughout the NW, it usually grows in undercover of larger trees. Its berries are eaten by onlya few birds (grouse, quail, etc.) and are poisonous to humans. See them across the creek.Maidenhair FernPerhaps the prettiest of NW ferns, found in shady, moist soil sites along streams and shadywetlands. Foliage disappears in the Fall to emerge again in the Spring. Our area hosts disjunctpopulations of eastern (pedatum) with shiny black stems and the more erect western (aleuticum).

Pilchuck Glass School Pioneers & Auction Centerpiece Designers1988 - Dante Marioni & William Morris (Table Flower Vase)Dante was a young gaffer working with William Morris who was then PGS’s Artistic Director. Atthe last (1987) Sheraton Hotel auction, Morris in noting attendees taking table lowers away inplastic bowls, is reported to have said, “we are a glass school, we can do better than this.” Dante, whotoday is a world acclaimed artist in his own right, assisted in making ~75 of these simple vases. This isa replica of one acquired from the SafeCo Collection found in PLC’s Permanent Collection.Present - Veruska Vagen (Dietrich & Sophie) and a friend to these Gardens, our unof icial CuratorAn artist painter educated in Chicago and Arizona, Veruska relocated her unique glass artistry toour area in 1993, then serving 12 years with the William Morris Studio. During that time shedeveloped her unique mosaic technique “dot de verre” using unique materials nowhere else available.

MONARCH & MILKWEED KIOSK #01 MONARCH & MILKWEED KIOSK #01

Apostles & Disciples‘ Martyrdoms & A Later RemembranceDietrich Bonhoeffer & Sophie SchollDietrich was a German Lutheran minister in WW II; he voiced the 1st public national radio oppositionto Hitler’s Reign. In England during the Night of the Long Knives (when 1,000s of Hitler’s “friends”disappeared) and later in the US, he chose to return to Germany to overthrow the Nazis, but instead it was he who was hung at Flossenburg. Sophia Scholl was a Lutheran anti-Nazi student in Munich and aWhite Rose member. “Somebody, after all, had to make a start” were her beheaded age 22 dying words.Peers in Holocaust - FlossenburgIf you were born before 8 April 1945 (allies marched into Flossenburg on the 23rd), you breathed thesame air as Dietrich. 30,000 German “asocials” were exterminated there, although if you visit the camptoday you will read that the leading cause for extermination in 1945 was to be unemployed in Germany.

Northwest Native ConifersDouglas FirThe NW’s “plantation tree;” grown for lumber from here to the mountain tops!The grove behind you is mainly Douglas Fir; these trees are but 50 - 60 years old withyounger trees on the slope behind you. When transplanted, they irst grow their root systems,seemingly dormant; they then may grow at the rate of 3’ per year. They can live for 1,400 years.

Key facts to know: 1” needles blunt needle ends have tap-like roots 3” - 4” cones with fork-end seeds needles scattered but soft to touch; once 1 of 20 conifers found, now the most common.

Look for the large stumps around the Garden (although most will be Red Cedar). Some Douglas Fir stood 300’tall. This is the “lumber tree;” the favorite of the Pilchuck Tree Farm that surrounds the Freeborn Reserve.

Northwest Native Broadleaved TreesAlders3 large trees to your right are Red Alder (the 4th, the larger, is a BlackCottonwood). Alders are this area’s most important hardwood and used for fuel, pulp, and furniture. The small alders on this side of the pond’s over low are Green or Sitka Alders. The smaller trees along the south edge are Gray or Thinleaf Alders. Those to your left are White Alders, now migrating north with our climate’s warming, once found only in southern part of the State. Alders have roots like those of peas, with nodules that af ix nitrogen to the soil. They live for only 60 - 90 years and give way to taller conifers like the Douglas Fir behind you.

Leaf graphics and ranges are “temps,” ranges are from US Government web pages and Wikipedia; our goal is to use our own photos of real plants in

place in the Gardens.
