Woodstock Neighborhood Association Annual Plant Sale

Saturday, May 9, 2026 (9 AM to 3 PM)
Woodstock Community Center
5905 SE 43rd Ave, Portland, OR

The event features native and xeriscape perennials, organic vegetable starts, herbs, ornamental grasses, ground covers, shrubs, and trees. Proceeds from the sale help to maintain the community center, as part of an agreement with Portland Parks that has helped to keep the center open since 2004.

Our Woodstock Community Center depends on our annual plant sale, and our plant sale depends on all of us. The 2025 sale raised a record setting $9,900 thanks to our 52 generous plant donors and the 49 energetic volunteers who not only helped with delivery, setup, sorting, labeling, and pricing of more than 2,000 plants, but also cashiering, offering plant advice, and a stellar cleanup. We couldn't have done it without them! We hope to continue this inspiring community engagement in our 2026 sale.
