Online ordering for fall native plants starts on Sunday, August 16!
This fall, Sparrowhawk Native Plants is offering about 120 species of habitat-friendly plants, while raising money for another inspiring line-up of community partners co-hosting the October pop-up events; Tualatin Riverkeepers, Depave, Multnomah County Master Gardens, Learning Gardens Laboratory, Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood Association and Arbor Lodge Tree Team.
Native plants are the foundation of healthy ecosystems and fall planting offers ideal conditions for establishing native plants, providing plants with cooler temperatures and seasonal rainfall to give them a strong start for spring growth.
How it Works
1) Online ordering begins Sun, August 16, 9am
- Be sure to browse the website in advance to build your wish list. Preordering is required and popular species often sell out quickly. Please note that there is a $30 order minimum.
