Just like Goldilocks who found the “just right” bed, it appears the weather will be just right at the Nehalem Bay Garden Club Plant sale this weekend. Two years ago it was wet, windy and cold. Last year it was blistering in 90 degree heat. The forecast for this weekend is sunny and 66 degree–just right!
So if you like sun and plants head over to the sale site on Saturday and Sunday at 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem at the junction of Hwy 53 and North Fork Rd with horse statues in the front yard and real horses in the back yard! Start on North Fork Rd at the blinking light in Nehalem and go 5 miles to the end of N Fork Road. The sale is on the left.
The sale starts at 10 on Saturday, May 11th and goes until 3pm. On Sunday, May 12th the sale is from 10 to noon.
Available at reasonable prices will be all kinds of plants: hanging baskets, planters with colorful flowers, perennials, annuals, vegetables, tomatoes, shrubs, trees, and houseplants among others.
Also on offering will be Mother’s Day gifts and a raffle. Raffle items include a basket of garden goodies, an outdoor palm tree and a garden statue. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.
While you shop on Saturday only, bring your children so they can create wee succulent gardens as commitments to Planet Earth — and possibly Mothers’ Day gifts. All materials provided.
We encourage you to pay with cash or check and to round up! Nehalem Bay Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Past recipients include Food Roots, Hoffman Gardens, Alder Creek Farm, Tillamook Early Learning Center, Tillamook Chamber Comm Foundation, North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park. The Club has awarded a total of $12,300 in grants since 2020.
And while you are in the neighborhood, Aldervale Native Plants is having an open house on Saturday, May 11th from 9-4 across the road from the Garden Club sale. 43005 North Fork Rd.
