Our friends over at the Institute for Applied Ecology are conducting a survey, and we’re hoping some Yamhill folks can chime in!

Do you garden with native plants? We’d love to hear about your experience! Whether you’ve planted a small patch or reimagined your whole yard, your insights can help others create thriving habitat for pollinators and wildlife.

Our short survey (about 10 minutes) asks what worked well, what you’d improve, and what you’ve observed along the way.

Your feedback will help shape recommendations for gardeners across North America. A summary of results will be shared in early 2026 on the Institute for Applied Ecology website, and we will cross-share to the Yamhill SWCD website and social media, too.

Coincidentally, the annual Native Plant Sale opens for pre-orders on January 1st. Check out this year’s catalog and consider adding some new native plants to your space!
