Diane Stutzman: Plants and Plant Communities of the Channeled Scablands

Summary: Take a trip into the little known world of the interior Columbia Basin.  From the highway, the scablands look bleak and empty, but they are full of life.  Regional Native Americans consider the wheat fields to be a desert, and the scablands to be the breadbasket. Come and find out why.

Bio: Diane Stutzman is the owner of Desert Jewel Nursery in Spokane, which specializes in drought-adapted plants and native plants and succulents from the West and Midwest. She teaches classes in low-water landscape design and is a former BLM Botanist/Regional Data Coordinator in northeastern Washington.

Landscaping with Native Plants in the Idaho Panhandle, a publication by the Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society, is available at the following area retailers for $19.95 (see link below).   First published in 2011, it is the resource for any home garden or large landscape project where the many benefits of native plants are desired. In addition to detailed material about the listed plants there is extensive information included to accomplish successful results.  This book has been made possible with grant support, largely from the Inland Northwest Community Foundation."
