When you buy plants from the Nehalem Bay Garden Club’s annual plant sale you are helping your community as well as adding green, color and food to your yard.
That’s because the Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Since 2020 the Club has granted almost $28,000! Thanks to everyone who has purchased plants in the past so we are able to do this.
Past recipients include Wheeler Waterfront Park, Salmonberry Trail, Tillamook Estuary Partnerships Native Plant Nursery, Pine Grove Community Center, Food Roots, The Wonder Garden at the Hoffman Center, Alder Creek Farm, Coyote Ridge Community Garden, Nehalem Bay Health Center, Tillamook Early Learning Center, North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park. Grants are awarded at the end of the year.
This year the sale will be held as usual on Mother’s Day weekend. Unlike the past few years, it is ONE DAY ONLY.
Saturday, May 9th from 10-4.
No early entries please.
Location of the sale is 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem at the junction of Hwy 53 and Northfork Rd.
Start at the blinking light in Nehalem at 7th Street, which turns into N Fork Rd and go 5 miles to the end of N Fork Road. The sale is on the left. If you are coming from the north, you will turn left at the blinking light; if from the south you will go straight instead of continuing on Highway 101.
Available at reasonable prices will be all kinds of plants: hanging baskets, planters with colorful flowers, perennials, annuals, vegetables, tomatoes, shrubs, trees, herbs, ground cover and houseplants.
Also on offering will be Mother’s Day gifts and a raffle. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.
Bring your children and your tools. There will be a hands-on nature related activity for the kids and the Sharpenator will be there to put a new edge on your tools.
We encourage you to pay with cash or check and to round up!
If you have one, please bring a wagon or some other conveyance to help get your plants to your car.
