David and Jeff will look at 40 plants for a multi-season garden that have performed well in their own Port Angeles green spaces. Some plants are common while many are more unusual and strikingly different.<\/p>\n

\u201cSelecting the right plant for the right place is sometimes rather simple, while other times very complex,\u201d David said. David and Jeff will discuss selecting plants suitable for the northern Olympic Peninsula\u2019s climate and soil and how to take advantage of microclimates and plant challenges to create a lovely four-season garden.<\/p>\n
