Native Plant Workshop

On Saturday, April 25th, at 9:00 am FANs is offering a two-hour native plant workshop with Marilynne Keyser.  We will meet at the Juniper room in the Crooked River Ranch administration building for a slide presentation on the most common native shrubs, bunchgrasses and wildflowers in the local sagebrush community.   After the presentation, Marilynne will give a tour of the new Crooked River Ranch Native Plant Interpretive Garden, created by FANs in conjunction with staff of Crooked River Ranch.  Over 500 plants of 36 native species were planted by volunteers in May and June of 2014.  Interpretive signs and plant labels will be added in 2015.  The garden is located by the tennis courts, near the administration building.

FANs will be selling native bunchgrasses in one or two gallon pots at the garden immediately following the workshop.

This workshops will provide valuable material, including color photographs to take home.  FANs is requesting a $15 donation for the workshop to cover printing costs and to support the native garden.  We need to know how many people are coming so that we have enough materials available. Please contact Marilynne Keyser at 541-923-0558 or mtkeyser@gmail.com  for more information and to register for the workshop.  You can pay on the day of the workshop with either cash or a check made out to FANs.  Your contributions are tax-deductible as FANs is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
