Debby Purser

Debby Purser is a Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribal member. She began volunteering at Heronswood in 2016, soon progressing to a permanent role as gardener and volunteer coordinator. In 2022, she originated the S’Klallam Connections Garden, designing and planting together with Heronswood’s other tribal staff, and now manages that garden. Her primary interest is in connecting tribal members with the garden, so we can promote and expand tribal knowledge of plants and how to use them sustainably throughout her community.
