Current Listing

Location of the sale is 43080 Northfork Rd, Nehalem at the junction of Hwy 53 and Northfork Rd. Look for the horse sculpture! (5 miles from the blinking light in Nehalem, straight out N Fork Rd till you come to Hwy 53. It’s on the left right before Hwy 53.)

Get your raffle tickets for a iRobot Vacuum Model 805 Roomba, complete with all the paperwork in the cardboard tray it came in. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.

We even still have some TOMATOES as well as Mother’s Day gifts, perennials, veggies, herbs, annuals, succulents, ground covers, trees, shrubs and house plants.

Thanks to all who braved the weather on Saturday to come out to the sale. Your purchases have helped our community! Nehalem Bay Garden Club donates proceeds from the sale to local organizations that share the Club’s mission. Recently the focus for these grants has been on food security. Past recipients include North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their food programs, Food Roots, Hoffman Gardens, Alder Creek Farm, Nehalem Elementary Garden Program, and the mural at Nehalem City Park.

Club members also want to share their appreciation to the folks at the Lower Nehalem Community Trust. Since Alder Creek Farm is not having a plant sale this year, due to a gap in garden management resources, they graciously made their hoop house available for the Club’s use. It is currently stocked with the tomatoes growing big and lush in the heat and light of the hoop house.

There are some new additions to the annual plant sale.

A raffle for a iRobot Vacuum Model 805 Roomba, complete with all the paperwork in the cardboard tray it came in. Tickets are $5 each or 6 for $20.

River City Flower Farm will be selling their dried flower arrangements and wreaths as well as dahlia bulbs. Please note that they will only be there on Saturday.

There will be gifts for Mom, including garden themed cards handmade by Garden Club members.

And don’t forget we have TOMATOES! About 600 gallon pots of at least 19 varieties of tomatoes will be available including heirloom, cherry, grape, roma and beefsteak types among others. These varieties were specifically chosen by experienced members because they are proven performers in our coastal climate.

Besides tomatoes, club members have started other vegetables from seed so gardener’s plant selections will be available from a local source. Also on offering will be the club’s usual annuals, perennials, natives, herbs, succulents, shrubs, and trees.

Whether you are an experienced wheel thrower or hand-builder, you will enjoy this opportunity to learn the art of teapot making from Barbara Temple Ayres and Kathleen Kanas. Along with degrees in art and education, this duo has more than 25 years combined experience in ceramics and teaching and share a genuine passion for all things clay.

The teapot class is a full-day workshop starting with the construction and decoration of the vessel. While the vessel is drying, attention will be turned to spouts, handles and lids. A long lunch break gives time for the clay to dry so that the components may be joined in the afternoon session.

The cost of the class is $95 plus a $10 materials fee. You may bring your own ceramics tools or use the ones in the clay studio at no charge.

The class is limited to 10 attendees and will be held in the Hoffman Clay studio starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. on Monday, May 9, 2022.

Proof of vaccination is required; masks are optional but always a good idea when working in a clay studio.
