Eastern Washington - Inspiring Garden Ideas for all Gardeners

Eastern Washington State is known for its diverse climate and dramatic landscape, making it an exciting region for gardening enthusiasts. With a range of weather conditions, sunset climate zones, and distinct seasons, this area offers a unique gardening experience.

Weather and Sunset Climate Zones

Eastern Washington experiences a semi-arid climate characterized by hot summers, cold winters, and low annual precipitation. The region’s weather can vary significantly, with the northern areas experiencing colder temperatures and higher precipitation while the southern areas are warmer and drier.

The region is primarily located in Sunset Climate Zones 1, 2, and 3. 

Garden Styles

Eastern Washington’s varied climate allows for diverse garden styles. Some popular options include:

  • Native Plant Gardens: Embrace the region’s natural beauty by incorporating native plants, such as the showy Penstemon, fragrant Mock Orange, and drought-tolerant Sagebrush. These plants are well-adapted to the local climate and provide habitat for local wildlife.
  • Xeriscaping: Given the region’s aridity, xeriscaping is a popular approach. This low-water-use landscaping style incorporates drought-tolerant plants and efficient irrigation systems, conserving water while maintaining an attractive garden.
  • Edible Gardens: Eastern Washington’s agricultural heritage inspires many gardeners to grow their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Cool-season crops like lettuce, peas, and kale thrive in the spring and fall while heat-loving plants like tomatoes, peppers, and melons flourish in the summer.
