Salmon-friendly Plant List

Many northwest gardens include plants that are both native and non-native to Western Washington. Away from the water, non-native plants can be woven in with natives to provide beautiful foliage patterns and textures.

Native species are especially important along streams and shorelines. They attract insects that salmon thrive on, and help maintain a balanced ecosystem in the delicate aquatic environment.
