We are gardening enthusiasts sharing a common interest in studying and growing plants suitable for rock gardens. The Northwestern Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society (NWNARGS) is a society of plant enthusiasts located in the Seattle metro area. Our members come not only from the greater Seattle area but also from all parts of Washington State and northern Oregon State. We welcome mem
bers and visitors at all levels of gardening experience – from garden beginners to professional growers. The plants we study include alpine plants, bulbs, small hardy plants, woodland plants, shrubs and trees, and even desert plants like cacti and succulents. NWNARGS meets nine times a year in Seattle or Bellevue. Meetings feature illustrated presentations by local, national and international experts; plant cultivation tips and demonstrations; and information about local growing conditions and plant resources. We sponsor two plant sales a year, annual garden tours, and wide-ranging field trips to explore plants in their wild habitat.
