Way back in 2018, the folks running the show at the Hoffman Wonder Garden decided on a mission: to put the manzanitas back in Manzanita. Clearly, the plants thrived in this climate, flowered WAY before most other garden plants, and had singularly GORGEOUS bark.

Today, 7 years later, the WG has sold @750 namesake shrubs to the wider community during its spring and fall plant sales. Yay!

Tomorrow, at the WG PLANT SALE, we’re selling l @50 more! Here’s the line-up:

‘Martha Ewan’, a fab & flawless groundcover form that was discovered growing on Mrs Ewan’s grave here in Nehalem…

‘John Dourley’ and ‘White Lanterns’, both lovely smaller shrubs that top out at 3’…

‘Lester Rowntree’ and ‘Warren Roberts’, 4’ high and a generous 8’ wide…

‘Gray Leaf Form’, super pretty with distinct foliage, ultimately 5’x5’…

And coming in at an impressive 7’x7’, the handsome and fast growing ’Sentinel’.

SEE YOU AT THE WONDER GARDEN TOMORROW, SEPT 20, 10-12PM!!!

On September 9, the Rockaway City Council denied approval of the application for the development proposed in the Nedonna wetlands! This is a critical step forward in protecting coastal wetlands and in safeguarding the city’s backup drinking water aquifer.

This ecologically rich Special Area wetland is a critical habitat that filters pollution, prevents flooding, and supports wildlife. An intact ecological system is crucial to our community’s health and wellbeing.

Now we need your voice to make the protection permanent. Please attend the upcoming Community Meeting hosted by North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection on September 30 at 6-7pm.
St. Mary by the Sea Parish
275 S. Pacific Street
Rockaway Beach
ALL ARE WELCOME!

WHY IT MATTERS:

*The proposed development sets on ecologically rich Special Area wetlands — critical habitat that filters pollution, prevents flooding, and supports native fish.
**The land overlays Rockaway Beach’s backup drinking water aquifer — development here potentially puts the safety of the City’s drinking water supply at risk.
***This land should never have been approved for residential development in the first place. Local zoning and state law clearly protect these wetlands — and this LUBA decision confirms it.

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and we want an end to pesticide
applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that all people are entitled to have. #protectourdrinkingwater #saveourwetlands #watershedprotection #rockawaybeachoregon #oregoncoast #nccwp

You read that right: this is the final week for the farmers market 2025 season! The days are getting shorter, and I’ve been going home in the dark after closing down the market the last couple of weeks. It’s time for the season to end, but we will all miss the market! Stay tuned, though, we may have a pop up or two during the off season.

Plants are slowing down with the changing season, but our farmers are still in abundant harvests. This is a great week to stock up or buy some extra food to preserve. Apples and roots like beets and carrots keep for weeks in the refrigerator. Potatoes, onions, and garlic can be stored in a cupboard or cool garage for months. Tomatoes, peppers, berries, and peaches, are all easy to freeze: no processing necessary, just pop them in a bag! (Bread also freezes extremely well!) If you’re a little more ambitious, you can ferment or pickle and can many vegetables including green beans, cabbage, radishes, cucumbers, and more.

I hope you will join us to celebrate a bountiful season and stock up with our vendors! Enjoy some tacos, get your fortune told, and share this community space with your friends. Music this week will be by Lauren Sheehan. Called “a one-woman Americana jukebox” according to the Huffington Post, Great Auntie Lo, aka Lauren Sheehan, is a multi-instrumentalist and singer specializing roots of country music; old blues, country songs, rural music, fiddle tunes, early jazz, contemporary folk and originals. Expect vintage guitars, banjo and mandolin.

It’s been a joy and an honor to serve as the market manager this year. This is a special farmers market, with such a wonderful community of vendors, shoppers, musicians, and friends supporting it. I have loved facilitating this community space every week and meeting many of you. Thank you for supporting our local farmers, bakers, crafters, makers, musicians, cooks, healers, artists, and creatives.

See you all Friday, 4-7, for one more hurrah!

Don’t worry, folks. The “radical acts” in question aren’t lawsuits or scandals—they’re leather satchels and mended jeans.

This week at Creativity Café, we’re stitching stories instead of stirring drama—thanks to two special friends bringing their craft to share:

“Gucci Weeps: The Satchel Saga”
Brien found a fancy Italian leather couch in the trash. He ripped it to pieces–likely with nothing but his own brawn and plenty of swagger–claiming from beast enough hides to make Gucci weep.

Now he’s looking to share the spoils with us at Creativity Café! Brien will show you how to turn the remnants of Bill & Andy’s couch into small, sturdy pouches—bags fit for hedge-botherers and stitched with story.

Answer the call of the Satchel Saga this week at Creativity Cafe!

HeartWorks Studio, 395 N Nehalem Blvd, Wheeler

AND

“Midday Mini-Mending with Molly!”
Bring a worn (but not completely tattered) woven textile, and Molly will help you patch it up using an intricate yet easy mending technique—needle weaving! Works great on worn pocket corners, rear-end mends, and cuffs (not so great for socks or sweaters). Mending materials provided.

Molly Painter is a one-time Wheeler resident with a history of trying to fix everything. She discovered mending as a way to extend the life of beloved workwear, jackets, and jeans—all without complicated tools or ready-made patches. If you want to share in the quiet joy of fixing something by making it even more special, this is the class for you!

Alder Creek Farm and Natural Area’s Nehalem Teaching Trail already supports an impressive variety of native plants and simulated ecosystems for community learning—but we’re looking to grow. This short trail will extend educational access into a different ecosystem and connect to the Natural Area’s pollinator meadow. We hope it will also add some variety to habitat access for bird watchers who visit the farm as a part of the Oregon Coast Birding Trail.

Tools and gloves are provided, new volunteers welcome and no prior experience needed. We will be working on uneven ground, bending, and moving small rocks and brush during this process. Join as frequently as you please. Email shane@nehalemtrust.org for weekly updates on where to meet.

In gratitude for the enthusiastic responses to its past performances, on October 4 the North Oregon Coast Symphony will present a classical music concert featuring small wind and string ensembles at St. Catherine Episcopal Church in Nehalem.

For several years, the symphony performed regularly at St. Catherine until it outgrew the venue. Because musicians loved playing at the church, with its wonderful acoustics and appreciative audiences, several small groups made up of current and former symphony members have put together a program of chamber music suited for the smaller venue. 

Queentet–a string quartet plus clarinet– will play movements from Mozart’s famous clarinet quintet, K 581.  A trio of flutes will present two contemporary pieces, one of which, Birds, has movements entitled Birdsong, Flight, and The Journey. The FAB piano trio (violin, cello, piano) will perform the gentle second movement from Mendelssohn’s first piano trio. The Astoria Tuba Quartet will round out the program with a selection of pieces by composers ranging from the baroque-era Buxtehude to the local (Peninsula) Norm Poulshock. 

The concert will take place on Saturday, October 4 at St. Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR ) beginning at 3 pm.

There will be no fee for admission, but donations are encouraged.

How can a parent find hope and peace in the unexpected death of a child?

Jane will be reading from her memoir, Firefly: Ashley’s Light, which addresses what she has discovered along the way of processing the sudden loss of her 22-year-old daughter, Ashley, who died in a flash flood while trekking in the Indian Himalayan mountains. Unexpected events before, during, and after the search for Ashley unraveled some answers to Jane’s lifelong search for what is real. Surprising gifts along the way helped bring hope in trying to resolve a death where Jane could not see, be with, or say goodbye to one she loves.

Following the reading and presentation, Jane will answer questions from the audience and sign copies of her book, which Jane will have available for purchase at the event.

About:
Jane Ashe is a retired hospital chaplain, embracing all spiritual paths that lead to love and peace. As an ordained deacon in the Presbyterian Church (USA), she has facilitated grief groups for nine years. She has an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University NW. After twenty years working in corporate marketing, she obtained a Master of Pastoral Studies from Seattle University to become a chaplain.

Jane is the cousin of long-time Manzanita resident, Julianne Johnson, who was a friend of Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman and witnessed their community engagement, which culminated in the Hoffman Center for the Arts.
