Cartm is open Thursday thru Mondays, 12-6pm. Located in Wheeler.
Beside plants, what you can find at the Nehalem Bay Garden Club Plant Sale this Saturday is a raffle and an activity for kids to keep them occupied while you shop. The children’s activity is on Saturday only. The raffle will continue on Sunday with the winners announced at the close of the sale on noon on Saturday.
A new item has been added to the raffle! It’s a crepe myrtle catawba tree, which makes 4 things to choose from. Other raffle items include a basket of garden goodies, an outdoor palm tree and a garden statue. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20. Proceeds are donated to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Pictures are of 3 of the 4 raffle items.
All materials are provided for children to create wee succulent gardens as commitments to Planet Earth and possibly Mothers’ Day gifts. Saturday only.
The sale starts at 10 on Saturday, May 11th and goes until 3pm. On Sunday, May 12th the sale is from 10 to noon. The location is at 43080 North Fork 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.
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 garden related gifts for Mother’s Day or whomever and packets of free flower and vegetable seeds.
We encourage you to pay with cash or check and to round up! From the proceeds, the Club has awarded a total of $12,300 in grants since 2020. 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.
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.
Good morning Mr. Reid,
My name is Mark Smith. I am the Regional Manager for OLCC who oversees Inspector operations in your area. Your email was forwared to me. I wanted to say, we really appreciate you bring this to our attention. OLCC has no contractors or anyone working on our behalf in your area. In fact, I’m not aware of anyone doing any work like this for OLCC anywhere in the state. We have not asked anyone to look into bars in your area, as this person states.
We do have inspectors who may be operating in your area doing typical compliance checks. However, if we were to conduct an audit operation or an undercover operation like this person is describing, we wouldn’t use a contractor or ask a private person to do it. We would be doing it with our own, duly employed, state certified, and sworn Inspectors who are trained to do this. Additionally, we will not “covertly” record anyone with hidden cameras. It should be noted, depending on reasonable expectation of privacy, recording someone without their knowledge may be illegal and is simply not something OLCC engages in. In fact, we have internal policies which prohibit our employees from recording without another person’s knowledge. So, it stands to reason, we would not be asking a private person or company to do that on our behalf.
I can’t be sure with the information provided but given the nature of the very anonymous looking email and the ask to contact this person, I would be concerned this may be scam. Again, I don’t know that for sure, but this may be something you might want to make your local law enforcement aware of. OLCC’s authority is limited to regulating OLCC licensed premises, meaning we enforce rules attached to licenses issued by OLCC. We have some limited law enforcement authority, but it is limited to liquor related crimes such as Furnishing Alcohol to Minors. Therefore, someone who may be committing a crime such as illegally recording or impersonating a government official, would need to be addressed by a law enforcement officer.
Again, we really appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I will be letting our local inspectors know about this so they may keep an eye out. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email me or call me at the number listed below.
Very Respectfully,
Mark Smith

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.

Meet your Yoga Therapist
Katie Crosman is a 500 YTT yoga teacher and yoga studio co-owner with over a decade of experience. She has a MS in Yoga Therapy and is a certified International Association Yoga Therapist.
Tonight is Open Music Jam- starts at 6 PM, bring your instruments, your voice, yourself and let’s have some fun!!
Store will be closed tomorrow, Saturday May 4th – I will be at the Master Gardener’s Plant Sale at the Tillamook Fairgrounds, from 9-1, with my best products- local photography note cards, crystals, journals, jewelry, candles, suncatchers, windchimes/spinners and more! Please stop by and say hello, while you’re shopping for some awesome plants!
And now for some real talk- there are no community events scheduled for this month other than tonight’s open music jam.
I am very passionate about offering community events like this for free or very low cost donations, and for this reason, I added a store to my already busy healing practice- store sales help pay for these events, and keep them open and available to ALL! However, this winter, like most of the businesses along the coast, there just wasn’t enough sales, or support, and now I am making some hard decisions moving forward….
I am also burned out. I was glad to be able to offer the studio for grief support after the passing of my friend Lee, and also my time for the many weeks of his memorial planning, but it was a financial hardship, as well as an emotional one, and honestly, I haven’t had a chance to catch my breath yet, or process my own grief. So, I am regrouping, re-imagining, restoring, and hoping to be back in June with a full schedule again, but I need your help to do it!
Store Hours are Thursday-Sunday 11-4PM- closed May 4th, 12-16th. Free hot tea, and hugs, always available
****Please shop local, if you like a store or service in your community, support them! It’s our local community that keeps us going, it’s not all tourists!***
I LOVE YOU! And I am so BLESSED to be a part of your community! -CK
Hope to see you soon!

The Lower Nehalem Community Trust is pleased to announce the appointment of Emily Akdedian as Interim Executive Director. From walks on Neahkahnie Mountain as a toddler, to catching a first crab in the sparkling waters of Nehalem Bay, and now witnessing her children grow amongst the majesty of the temperate rainforest—Emily’s connection to the Nehalem region brought her to the Trust in 2022 when she joined us as Education and Outreach Coordinator.
Emily’s professional career has spanned non-profit education and environmental work across three continents where she has been involved in organizational development, project management, program design and implementation, as well as equity work in collaboration with communities in rural areas of Costa Rica and remote Pacific Islands. She has engaged and managed volunteers on our public lands as the North Coast Stewardship Coordinator for Trailkeepers of Oregon, and during her time with the Trust has worked to connect our North Oregon Coast residents, visitors, and partners to place-based learning opportunities on our lands and in our region. She has implemented various public relations strategies to build awareness and promote engagement in LNCT’s conservation work.
Emily holds an M.A. in Natural Resources and Sustainable Development, an M.A. in International Affairs, and a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology. Her knack for combining knowledge, wit, kindness, and valuing partnerships, diversity, and inclusion as central to a healthy environment and community, have proven to be tremendous strengths for her work at LNCT and for the network that she continues to build.
Emily will oversee day-to-day operations and provide staff supervision and project management oversight toward mission related obligations. While working with the Board during this time of transition, she will help lead strategic and fiscal year planning. Please join us in welcoming Emily to this new role and leadership in our continued journey to conserve land and nurture conservation values in partnership with an engaged community.
Emily can be reached at (503) 368-3203 or emilyakdedian@nehalemtrust.org. Or, you can reach me at (503) 329-1011 or debbie@nehalemtrust.org.

Board President
(Wheeler) – The Nehalem Bay Health District this week submitted to Tillamook County’s Community Development department design and permitting documents for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy in Wheeler.
The submittal represents a major milestone in the project and anticipates a permit review schedule by the county that will allow groundbreaking in mid-July 2024.
The new Health Center will replace the existing Nehalem Bay Health Center, housed in a building that was constructed in the 1980’s that has no space for expansion or for the development of new health care services. The new Health Center will be located in a prominent location on U.S. Highway 101 across Hospital Road from the Wheeler City Hall. The new facility will have 15 exam and treatment rooms, a large pharmacy, a dental suite, dedicated space for behavioral health services and a large community meeting room.
Health District president Marc C. Johnson said the board is proud that a significant community project has been developed by a talented all-woman team of architects and designers from Scott Edwards Architects, as well as a diverse consultant team that met the Health District’s goal of teaming with multiple COBID certified Oregon firms.
(COBID firms are certified as minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and emerging small businesses).
“This team has worked diligently with the health care and administrative staff of the Nehalem Bay Health Center to plan an efficient, modern facility that will serve our community far into the future,” Johnson said.
The Health District board has also placed a premium on working with firms with substantial health care and coastal design and construction experience. The rest of the District’s team includes The Klosh Group, serving as the District’s owner’s representative and Bremik Construction the construction manager/general contractor.
Here is a timeline of key activities leading to construction of the new
Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.

Since 2020 alone the Club has awarded grants totaling $12,300. Grant recipients include Alder Creek Farm, Food Roots, Hoffman Garden, Tillamook Early Learning Center, and Wheeler Waterfront Park.

So come get some affordable plants without driving too far and help send your hard earned dollars back into our community.
Features of the sale include:
All kinds of plants: hanging baskets, planters with colorful flowers, perennials, annuals, vegetables, tomatoes, shrubs, trees, and houseplants among others.
