Selected Native Plants of Oregon


Here are just a few of the native plants that you will find in Oregon.  Click on the images below in order to view a larger or complimentary picture.  Native plants are great for streamside planting, attracting wildlife, and they are usually easy to grow.  They are already adapted to our climate and soils!  You can purchase these at local area nurseries or at our Native Plant and Tree Sale* which is held annually in February. See our Meetings & Events page for information on this year's sale.  Click here to see informational handouts on native plants.
