The 2024 Native Plant Sales are in full swing. While the Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District doesn’t host a native plant sale, many of our local districts do. And if you don’t get an opportunity to take advantage of one of our local partners’ sales listed below, check out this OSU native plant finder.

Native plants are a great way to beautify your yard, pollinator garden, or hedgerow! While wintertime may seem gloomy, the promise of a new growing season is just around the corner. Now is the perfect time to set your plans into motion. Several of our local area soil and water conservation districts offer native tree, shrub, and plants for sale each year.
