Once abundant across the North Pacific, sea otters were aggressively hunted during the maritime fur trade for their rich fur pelts, resulting in a loss of 99% of the global population. While the species has recovered along much of its range, there has not been a population of this important keystone species in Oregon for over 100 years. The Elakha Alliance is an Oregon nonprofit working to build the science, policy, and community engagement to reintroduce a population of sea otters to the Oregon Coast and 10% of sales from this event will go to their ongoing efforts to bring sea otters back to Oregon!
We will be channeling our inner sea otter as we embark on a guided intertidal adventure to see and learn about the wild food sources on our coast. Learn about the intertidal ecology of Oregon’s mud flats, and the sustainability and seasonality of clamming along our coast. Attendees will get to harvest their own clams (with purchase of a shellfish license) and see a cleaning demonstration!
Next, we’ll head to the Historic Boathouse in Garibaldi, for a talk on sea otter reintroduction from the Elakha Alliance.
Known locally as “Pier’s End,” this site offers a venue experience unlike any other, situated at the terminus of a 700-foot-long wooden pier extending directly over the waters of Tillamook Bay. Built in 1936, the boathouse served as a critical rescue station for the North Coast for over 30 years. Today, the structure stands as a testament to Pacific Northwest maritime history, and educational programs are run by the Garibaldi Cultural Heritage Initiative.
We’ll wrap up the day with a thoughtfully prepared shoreline cooking and shucking demo of mussels, and some tasty bites featuring freshly harvested shellfish and seaweed, highlighting the delicious diversity of foods that otters and coastal communities love. Whether you’re a curious foodie or a nature lover, this is a celebration of ocean stewardship, sustainability, and unforgettable coastal cuisine.

HOFFMAN WONDER GARDEN PLANT SALE PREVIEW: WILDFLOWERS!
At this Saturday’s WG sale, we’ll be offering 4 effervescent varieties of wildflowers, ready to bloom this season and then seed around for next spring.
We’ve had the best luck reseeding in our sunny manzanita bed, where plants are mulched with gravel and – most importantly – left undisturbed all year. That’s the key to having plenty more wildflowers next season, whether you plant them in full sun or part shade.
And the offerings are:
Gilia tricolor: this bird’s eye gilia is crazy enchanting! Petals are blushed light purple around the edges, fade to white towards the center and draw you right in with their deep dark eyes. Pictured below.
Gilia ssp. pacifica: stout, dark blue drumsticks will start making a racket in our manzanita bed over the next few weeks. Right now we’re enjoying the gilia’s emerging mounds of lacy foliage as we await flower stalks 18” high. Pictured below.
Limnanthes: there’s no more carefree sight in the WG than its random yellow bursts of meadowfoam. Just 4” tall but such optimism! Very limited supply. No fighting.
Clarkia rubicundra: this Farewell-to-Spring with its distinct claret-red center is a relative of our native’s with a similarly long, long bloom time and tops out at a reported 32”! The flower spikes make great cut flowers. Pictured below.
Need Shade Plants? Shrubs? Clumping bamboo? Come on by SATURDAY, APRIL 25th, 10AM – 1PM at The Wonder Garden!

Perch Makers Table is a creative space coming to the Manzanita — part artist collective, part communal gathering place. A curated shop featuring regional makers, a big table where you can sit down and work on something, and small approachable workshops led by local artists. A place for locals and visitors alike, especially on those rainy days when you just need somewhere to land.
The space is being built by Katie Simmons of Perch + Paper, a familiar face at the Manzanita Farmers Market and around town. This is something she’s wanted to build here for a long time, and it’s finally happening.
Right now the project is in its early stages and community support is what will bring it to life. Whether you want to contribute, join as an artist, or simply follow along as it comes together, there’s a place for you in this.
