    i am setting up a community demonstration garden
    in roberts creek on the sunshine coast
    with a deep focus on
    plants with a history of use by the Coastal First Peoples
    it will have a map printed by the Sunshine Coast Regional District and given away
    freely
    also the project is supported by many of the local elementary schools, high schools, eco-education programs, alternative school, and college
    on the Sunshine Coast

    after scouring local nurseries and plant shows
    there are a few plants that have eluded me in setting up a comprehesive collection
    does anyone know of a nursery who stocks the following plants
    or perhaps someone has a private collection they might be willing to sell me plants from
    so they can be a part of this lineage living classroom teaching about these special native plants
    to residents, visitors and school groups for many many years to come

    sarsaparilla aralia nudicaulis
    ground cone bosschniakia hookeri
    calypso calypso bulbosa
    pipsissewa chimaphilia umbellilata
    cow parsnip heracleum lanatum
    seashore lupine lupinus littoralis
    wild caraway perideridia gairdneri
    pacific cinquefoil potentilla pacifica
    cloud berry rubus chamaemorus
    yerba buena satureja douglasii
    purple hedge nettle stachys cooleyae
    springbank clover ; trifolium wormskjoldii

    Some seeds not necessarily plants can be bought at Richters online. Others at B&W seeds.
    As the horticulture teacher at a elementary school, I find kids get more from a lesson if they start it themselves from seeds.
