At this Saturday’s festival, there’s plenty to discover beyond the Plant Stand. Wander Oxbow’s meadows and pollinator paths, join a guided tour, and get to know the plants and places that make this landscape special.
 
Then, take a moment to reflect on your own relationship with the landscape at our Yarrow Planting & Reflection activity anytime between 11 AM and 2 PM. Chat with our team about reciprocity and our interdependence with the living world, then plant a yarrow start as a living reminder of your relationship with plants and place.

We’re counting down to the Fall Native Plant Festival, and all week we’ll be sharing a few highlights to get you hyped for Saturday.

Today: 73 native species grown right here at Oxbow 🌱

From bright perennial flowers and shade-loving groundcovers to edible berries and drought-tolerant trees, there’s plenty to discover for gardens big and small.

Fall is a great time to get plants in the ground, giving roots the moisture and time they need to establish before next year’s dry season. Browse the selection, chat with our nursery team, and find the right plants for your space.

Register ahead to get the full plant availability list and start plotting your must-haves before Saturday.
October 3, 10 AM–4 PM, FREE admission
