NATIVE PLANT SALE – MARCH 6, 2027
The Upper Willamette SWCD holds an annual Native Plant Sale to help residents of Lane County create backyard habitat for pollinators and wildlife and build a more resilient landscape.
When it comes to creating habitat in your yard or garden for beneficial wildlife, birds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators, native plants can be your best friends. They are adapted to the Willamette Valley, and they can help you save water and add curb appeal to your home. Our Native Plant Sale features a wide variety of locally native species and seeds. Plants are pre-ordered through our online store. When you place your order, you will be asked to sign up for a 15-minute time slot on the day of the sale to pick up your plants.
Nature is not always predictable, so there is always a small chance that some plants may not be available from the nursery. If we don’t have one of the plants you ordered, you’ll be refunded for those plants on pickup day or offered a similar substitute. We will have some additional plants available on the day of the sale with no pre-order required. Shop our online store between October and February.
