Over half my property is in mixed woods and is a good showcase of Northwest plants and animals.  I have a fruit orchard and a fenced vegatable garden (deer and rabbits eat anything with a price tag that is unprotected).  I want a certain amount of landscaped lawn with water features, etc. 

I am all for putting in a lawn that is low maintenance and environmentally friendly.  I have not been able to find such a lawn.  The Seattle site talks of mixtures containing yarrow and low growth grasses.  I like yarrow but it is not a native plant and neither are the grasses listed.

Who is going to provide us with a lawn mixture formulation that is made up of native grasses and plants that meets our needs for low maintenance and low impact on our environment?

I'd sure appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you for recording this history before the stories disappear as people who know them pass on. Albert Ralph Cammack and Ruth (Myers) Cammack, who were so much a part of the history of the Ontario area, have passed on now. Ralph Lindley Cammack, Albert's son, must now carry on much of that story to younger generations. Thanks again for getting some of the story recorded.
