WONDER GARDEN PLANT SALE: PLANT PREVIEW #2!

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The countdown continues till the Hoffman Wonder Garden’s Plant Sale:

SAT, APR 26th
10-12pm
Inside the Hoffman Center for the Arts

Yesterday, we profiled the horned poppy, which we’ll offer in two delicious colors. Here’s the link if you missed that post ‘cause you do not want to miss out on this plant:
www.northcoastbbq.com/2025/04/19/wonder-garden-plant-sale-the-plant-previews-begin/

Today we’ve got the inside line on a manzanita we’ve never been able to offer before, easily the most unusual manzi selection we grow: Arctostaphylos ‘Diablo’s Blush’.

People often mistake this slow-growing work of art is as a sedum. No lie. I mean, if you know your plants, you’ll know that confusing a manzi and a sedum is TOTALLY NUTS.

And yet, it’s an easy mistake to make! The foliage on this diminutive beauty looks absolutely succulent.
Its new growth is quite blue and its leaves are stacked in an upright manner that defies the rules of any manzi foliage you’ve ever seen. And after at least 5 years in the Wonder Garden (it lives near the big Hollywood Juniper along Laneda), it’s barely 18” tall. A rock garden specimen of a manzanita!

In full sun, mulched in gravel and no water after it’s established, Arctostaphylos ‘Diablo’s Blush’ is a heart throb. We’re smitten.

See you at the WG Plant Sale!

TRASH BASH Returns to White Clover Grange

Submitted By: jessi@heartofcartm.org – Click to email about this post
Mark your calendars, neighbors! The Trash Bash Art Festival is back at White Clover Grange May 15–18, and you’re invited to join the fun. Hosted by Heart of Cartm, this much-loved event celebrates the creativity and resourcefulness of our community. Did you know that Trash Bash includes 3 events?

Kicking things off is the Trash Art Gallery Opening on Thursday, May 15 from 5–9pm —the original Trash Bash event that brings together trash artists, trash art lovers, and the trash-curious for an evening of inspiration and awe. You’ll get the first look (and opportunity to buy) works of art made entirely from discarded and found materials.

Thursday night heats up with the Trash Art Slam – fast-paced, live art creation entertainment. Think of it like a baking competition—only with power tools and found objects. Watch and learn as local artists race to create brand-new artworks from a huge pile of parts in just two hours. The finished pieces will go straight into the gallery, ready for sale. Thanks to Niblack Events, attendees will be offered an array of delicious appetizers and drinks.

Friday evening, May 16, 5-7pm is Trash Tales – an event where trash becomes a powerful entry point into conversations about memory, meaning, and environmental stewardship. There may be hilarious dumpster diving adventures, sorrowful poems for things lost to time, or sweet songs of found treasures. Storytelling is a vital part of building community—when we share our experiences, we create space for connection, understanding, and new perspectives. Niblack Events will be back with another spread of delightful snacks and a full bar.

Saturday, May 17, is the Trashion Show, a stunning show of Spring Fashions made entirely out of discards. This event challenges the unsustainable systems that flood the world with waste. Trash Fashion turns discards into bold and creative statements. The party starts at 4:00 with local Gnarly’s Taco Truck, a list of local libations, and costume crafting on the lawn! Seating for the runway show begins at 5:00. Stay for the after party with DJ HIHAT, a young local, ready to keep you dancing!
So grab your friends, bring the family, and come experience the creativity bursting from our little corner of the coast. Whether you show up to cheer on a local artist, find the perfect weird-and-wonderful gift, or just enjoy a lively evening out, Trash Bash is the place to be.
All events take place at White Clover Grange in Nehalem, May 15–18. Tickets are available on our website at www.heartofcartm.org.
Trash Bash is about celebrating what we can do when we think creatively together. It’s inspiring, a little wild, and a whole lot of fun!

From The Heart,
Jessi & The Heart of CARTM Team

Earth Day Community Meeting-Protecting Drinking Water

Submitted By: rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection on Earth Day for our April Community Meeting where two important topics will be discussed:
1.Nedonna Beach- Protecting Wetlands & Drinking Water in Nedonna Beach
Neighbors and community members are actively working to protect the remaining freshwater, forested, and shrub wetlands in the Nedonna Beach neighborhood. The City of Rockaway Beach recently approved a new 28-house development in an area of Nedonna Beach that is designated as “wetlands” by both federal and county agencies.
We invite you to take part in a meaningful community conversation about safeguarding the Nedonna wetlands from further development. This is a chance to explore how we can come together to build a strong, local grassroots movement for lasting protection of this unique natural area.
We’re excited to welcome a special guest- a retired EPA health official- who will share insights from his career in environmental protection.
Your voice matters. We want to hear your ideas, your concerns, and how you might like to get involved. Let’s collaborate to ensure the Nedonna wetlands remain a thriving, protected space for generations to come.

2.Nehalem Watershed- Nehalem Must Stop Logging in Its Watershed
The Nehalem watershed was clear-cut by a logging company and then transferred to the city, possibly in the 1940s. In the 1980s, seeking new sources of income, the city began the practice of logging the watershed in stages, with the aim of generating revenue over time. Now, nearly 40 years later, only the steepest slopes remain untouched, with the majority of the area having been logged.This year marks the end of the city’s 25-year contract with a timber management firm. A speaker will address the ongoing issues, present the goals of a local conservation group, and explore alternative options the city could pursue. Additionally, the speaker will discuss how the community can get involved in protecting the watershed’s future.

Tuesday, April 22nd. 6pm-7:30pm. Doors open at 5:30pm for mingling. St Mary by the Sea Parish Hall 257 S Pacific St Rockaway Beach, Or.
Free Pizza!!

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources across all land ownership, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate.
