Testimonials

"Our convention [American Rhododendron Society] in Bellingham ended up in the black, which enabled us to donate to a variety of horticultural groups involved in climate change research. BWCT's help adding our public plant sale to their event calendar really made a difference. We are very grateful! BWCT also connected us with a local school where the kids made flower art for us to display at our meeting. The kids were magic! Their art was the highlight of the convention and to show our gratitude, and give back to the community in a tangible way, we are donating money to the school's art department." - Marlen Jacobs, America Rhododendron Society

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
