Gooseberries are a prickly bush that grows near water as undergrowth. There are 4 native species found in the Gardens: Coastal Black, Swamp, Gummy, and Canadian (found on the
Gardens SW slope and rarely, if ever, found west of the Cascades). Most Garden gooseberries are found by Kiosk 5, although they may also be seen scattered throughout the Gardens. None have been identified by PLC’s sponsored Western Washington University’s Summer Survey and Monitor (SAM) Project as being in danger of extinction, all probabilities are slight, <.0001. Widely favored by Indigenous Peoples for their ability to enhance taste and nutrition of various meat mixed and dried concoctions.
