Absolute best nursery in the Portland metro area for native Oregon plants. Prices are much lower than the big name nurseries and they have a huge selection with plants for any type and size of gardening space. The owners are also extremely knowledgeable and are happy to be consulted with regarding the plants and what might be best for your garden. There is also a beautiful walking trail around a pond that has lovely views of the surrounding area. Definitely worth booking an appointment and driving a bit out of the suburbs.
Love this nursery! They have a very nice selection of native plants at very reasonable prices. Knowledgeable, friendly service. You need an appointment but once you are there you can spend as much time as you want. Make sure you go when you have time to walk the trails they have.
As a relatively new transplant from San Diego I have enjoyed learning about plants native to the Pacific Northwest and plant my small area with native plants. Sauvie Island Natives is first stop because of their helpfulness, expertise and wide selection of native plants...all of which have flourished in my garden and are now coming back after Winter dormancy. There is also a peaceful walk around an adjacent pond and meadow with comfortable seating to just sit back for a few minutes and enjoy the peace and beauty of the island...a few miles and worlds away from the city
Fantastic nursery and a truly special corner of the world. There’s clearly so much care put into preservation here, not just for native plants but for tending the land itself. Excellent prices on native species, and they’ve also created a beautiful and educational walking path along a lagoon on the property. Everyone was incredibly welcoming. Anya the dog is a total sweetheart, and they all were so kind an understanding when one of my pups wasn’t at her friendliest. Highly recommend. A Sauvie Island jewel. Visits are by appointment. I came home with plants ... and ... a clearer sense of what’s possible when land is tended with care.
Amazing selection of native plants here! There is also a beautiful walking trail full of inspiration. We brought our dog since leashed and friendly dogs are welcome, and the staff encouraged us to take a little walk around with him. Their little Aussie dog Anya trotted along with us, which was also adorable. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, they helped us find some great plants for a native plant privacy hedgerow we are working on, plus some other lovely native flowering perennials and an Oregon white oak, which were very excited about. Appointments are required, just something to keep in mind, but once there you are absolutely encouraged to take your time and browse. New favorite nursery, we will definitely be going back!
