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!
