WOODLAND SKIPPERS & WILLOWS KIOSK
#16
Northwest Native Conifers
Pilchuck Glass School Pioneers & Auction Centerpiece Designers
This roadway entrance exhibits the 4 true irs of the NW. The 2 by this kiosk are:
Grand Fir
A tall tree when mature, once found scattered among others, noted for its needles
that are lattened, up to 3” long, and arranged on a lat plane. Used as a “softwood”
lumber, less preferred than Douglas Fir (and less replanted). Cones are upright.
2004 - Greg Owens (Striped Vessel)
Greg contributed this design in 2004, starting his glass artistry in 1994 at the Pilchuck Glass
School where he was mentored by Lino Tagliapietra, Preston Singletary, and Benjamin Moore.
Today his work is produced in Seattle and is found in many major galleries. Both centerpieces
represent the rich history of glass development at our Stanwood neighbor school, 2.7 miles to the NE.
Sub-alpine Fir
Alpine, but grown here to illustrate the 4th of the 4 true ir species in the State.
(Douglas Fir are of another family.) Recognized for its “spire-like” shape, it is
planted to the right of this kiosk, the Grand Fir by the driveway.
2014 - Scott Beneϐield (Distilled Cylinders)
Scott’s design contribution is the last, as the School has announced canceling the creation of
auction centerpieces (after 27 years). Part of the “Louisiana group” (of which there are 4 artists
represented along your walk), he now lives in Ireland exhibiting his art in dozens of venues annually.
Northwest Native Broadleaved Trees
Apostles & Disciples‘ Martyrdoms & A Later Remembrance
Leaf graphics and ranges are “temps,” ranges are from US Government web
pages and Wikipedia; our goal is to use our own photos of real plants in
place in the Gardens.
Willows (9 of 18 local native species)
Washington hosts 33 different species of willow, more than all other broadleaved native trees combined; our area has
18 of the 33. Willows are planted, left to right facing East, along the edge of what used to be Church Creek (before the
builders of the I-5, in a last minute change, diverted our waters under the freeway twice and around Exit 215).
Coyote Willow
Hooker’s Willow
NW Sandbar Willow Dusky Willow
Sitka Willow
Bebb’s Willow
Diamond-Leaf Willow
Scoluler’s Willow
Arroyo Willow
Some forms may be hybrids
and dif icult to identify.
Luke
was likely a physician, a historian 100 years after the Cruci ication. He begins his Gospel thanking
Theophilus, “Lover of God,” a rich man who inanced what we know today as “crowd sourcing,”
the same manner in which we’ve developed the Living History Farm (as few written records exist).
He joined 2 disciples, John & Matthew, and Mark (a teenager at the time of Christ) as a Gospel writer.
They wrote of men who knew they faced certain and quick death, but still attempted to tell the Word.
Peers in Holocaust - Maly Trostenets
Built as an execution ground for Soviet prisoners in 1941, it morphed into a death camp for Jews from the
Minsk area in 1942. At least 200,000, most likely 500,000 people died there, including 65,000 Jews. Over
30 dead in the cemetery on the hill above you, fought to liberate camps like these; all brave, some gay.
Northwest Native Shrubs & Ferns
Other Plants
Oregon Boxleaf
A shining leaf evergreen shrub usually up to 2’ tall. Its leaves are opposite each other, leathery,
glossy and oval long in shape. It is found widely distributed within the State on both sides of
the Cascade Mountains, usually mid-elevations, but to the sea in Puget Sound.
This kiosk’s roof and surrounding area contain willows, Salal, and grasses necessary for Woodland
Skipper larva; the roof hosts Pearly Everlastings, native thistles, and lowering plants used for
adult food. Like summer traf ic, only passing by (July - Oct.), they may or may not stop. Can you
identify the native Salal and the Trailing Blackberry? And if you started at Kiosk #01, you have
seen and read about all the native
conifers, broadleaved trees, shrubs, vines, and ferns
native to our area. Are they, like Freeborn Church
Creek’s salmon, destined to disappear?
Spreading Wood Fern
Also called the Spreading Wood Fern, it is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere,
in cool and moist evergreen forests. Easily propagated by its rhizome (roots) or via its spores,
its Latin name, “expansa,” describes its form and growth: “to spread out.”
This is the NW’s native botanical holocaust garden; it is a joint venture of Pilchuck Learning Center and Freeborn Church.
