The HCC Native Plant Habitat Garden
Welcome to the web page for the HCC
Native Plant Habitat Garden. The garden is divided into four
general habitat areas each containing plants native to Washington
State and representative of their areas. The habitat areas are:
Coastal, Eastern (high desert), Sub-alpine, and Northwest forest.
The garden is located on the HCC campus in Des Moines, Washington
just off Interstate 5, Exit 149. We invite you to come see the
garden in person. The best times for viewing are mid spring to
early summer. Contact Gerry Barclay at his email below or at 206
