As a long-time volunteer with The Friends of Buford Park and Mount Pisgah Native Plant Nursery, and in response to Rachel Foster’s call for gardening with natives (“Now’s the Time For Natives,” EW 9/16), I want to let your readers know that the nursery offers a spring and a fall plant sale to the public each year. This fall’s sale will be next month; check our website. We grow and offer for sale every native plant mentioned in her article. Even if you are not looking to buy, you are welcome to volunteer on Tuesdays or Thursdays or some Saturdays. The nursery is a short walk up the road from the north parking lot, if you are just curious.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
