Plant List -- Laurelhurst Fiber Art Studio & Urban Farm
Here's a list of plants that we grow at home. I am working on making this list more complete, putting plants into correct (or at least useful) categories, and adding the Latin names. With the exception of food crops, herbaceous plants in our yard are perennials or self-seeding annuals. Items shown in green are Oregon natives.
