Lodgepole/Shore Pine
Pines
4 pines are native, the most common is Lodgepole or Shore Pine: these 2
Western White Pine
forms co-exist here (the former on the upper slope behind you, the Shore
lower). The former grows straight and tall, the latter is often misshaped
and sprawling; both have needle clumps of 2. Ponderosa Pine can be a
Ponderosa Pine
tall tree with needles usually in groups of 3, now found in the Skagit Valley,
but mainly to the East. They have large rounded cones and bark red to
cinnamon; needles are 2-3” long. Cones remain on branches for years.
Whitebark Pine
Pines with clumps of 5 needles are the higher slopes’ Whitebark Pine and
the often found (although randomly scattered) Western White Pine.
Northwest Native Broadleaved Trees
#06
1993 - Paul DeSomma & William Morris (Globe Lessons)
This was the last year of William Morris, as the Pilchuck Glass School’s Art Director, to use the
production of annual centerpieces as an educational experience (making 1 or 2 each night over the
course of a year). Paul DeSomma (who now works with his wife, Marsha Blaker, from their studio in
Santa Cruz, CA) was Morris’ project manager that year. His work today carries a touch of this past.
Original editions are found in the Church’s Bonhoeffer Hall
on the hill to your East; these are scaled, attached replicas.
Past & Present - Benjamin Moore (Palla Series)
Among the early Pioneers of the Pilchuck Glass School, his irst summer was in 1974, 3 years after
the Glass School’s creation. It was Benjamin who brought back the breakthrough mentor friends
from his 1970s’ years in Murano-Venice (it was in 1291 that the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers
to move their foundries to the island of Murano because they represented a ire danger to Venice).
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.
Paciϐic Dogwood
The Gardens’ best specimen is found between Kiosk # 12 and # 13. This tree’s leaves are
deciduous, wedge-shaped at the base and although oval, larger toward the tip and
arranged opposite of each other. It is often shrub-like, but it can grow to 20’ in height or into a
sprawling shape. In the Spring, it’s perhaps the NW’s most beautiful tree, covered with showy
white lowers. In the Autumn, its fruit appears as clusters of red berries sitting on a seed cushion.
Dogwoods are dying throughout the NW, infected with a fungus that causes bark blisters with
purple or reddish borders. The irst sign of infection are tan spots on the leaves. All species are
just one mutation, a killer disease, or a non-native insect away from extinction.
John
was perhaps the youngest Apostle, certainly younger than his brother James, also an Apostle. According
to “tradition” (today’s term is “crowdsourcing” for our area’s unwritten history), he was the only Apostle
not to die a martyr’s death; author of the Gospel of John, up to 3 Epistles, and the Book of Revelations.
Northwest Native Shrubs & Ferns
Other Plants
Paciϐic Wax Myrtle
50 years ago this evergreen shrub (to a small tree) was found only from California to SW WA;
it is now slowly moving north along the coast as the climate warms (this Garden grows coastal
plants because we are, in fact, “coastal”).
Male Fern
An almost “evergreen” fern found
throughout the World in northern temperate climates, It can have 5 foot long leaves and is
usually found in damp and shaded woodland areas. Used by our ancestors to cleanse intestinal
worms (fairly toxic, today better medicines exist), it was once known as the Worm Fern.
Do we have to say it? Often seen here, Pine White butter lies need conifer needles for their larva.
No native needles = no Pine Whites. Asters, Thistles, Goldenrod and spring lowered currants are
their food. 5 native Currants are exhibited here, right to left if you turn to face the East:
Peers in Holocaust - Dachau
Heinrich Himmler described Dachau as “the ϔirst concentration camp for political prisoners.” Built to hold
12,000, many times that number died there, many Jewish. 100 years ago, a small cedar cabin (driveway
entrance to the west still exists) stood where you are standing. The brother of John Bruhn built it to be next
to his sibling, inanced by funds from their father, John, a Jewish physician who had led the pogroms.
