FireSmart Saturna

02/16/2022

Hi folks! Did you know that landscaping with drought-tolerant native plants is one way to FireSmart your property?

I have 5 packs of perennial wildflower seeds to give away to Saturna residents! There are 15 species of flowers in each package including: Siberian Wallflower, Shasta Daisy, Lance Leaf Coreopsis, Sweet William, Foxglove, Purple Coneflower, Blanketflower, Blue Flax, Perennial Lupine, Mexican Hat, Gloriosa Daisy, Black Eyed Susan, Candytuft, Gayfeather/Blazing Star, Maltese Cross. You can learn more about these flowers by visiting: https://www.greengardentribe.com/what-wildflowers-come-in-a-mixed-seed-packet/

To enter the draw, all you have to do is comment below and tell me one thing you are going to do this Spring to FireSmart your home or yard. I'll draw the winners randomly on Friday the 25th.

A wildflower is a flowering plant that thrives in the wild and was not purposely planted by people.
