Sauvie Island Natives Nursery Generously Supports Habitat Restoration

Has the record breaking summer heat made you concerned about climate change? Do you wish you could do something?

For one day only, on Saturday September 16, if you mention the Friends of Baltimore Woods at check-out, the folks at Sauvie Island Natives Nursery will generously donate 25% of your plant purchase to our native habitat preservation mission.

Native plants are naturally drought tolerant and provide habitat and food sources to insects, bugs and bees, which in turn feed native birds and other wildlife. Your investment will have a double benefit. You’ll add plants to your garden that are adapted to thrive in this climate and you’ll support the continuing stewardship of the local native oak woodlands and meadows of Baltimore Woods.

Sauvie Island Natives Nursery, located at 14745 NW Gillihan Road on Sauvie Island, is conveniently open four days a week, on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. You can click on this link to their website for directions and to schedule a visit: https://sauvienatives.com/

If you take a walk in the lovely peaceful landscape around the nursery, you’ll pass a pond and feel like you’re in a wildlife sanctuary, plus owner Jane Hartline is an excellent resource for information and advice on gardening with native plants.
