You can select up to 15 bulbs from a variety of native species and staff and volunteers will be on site to help with bulb selection and answer questions. Planting and care guides will be available. The bulbs also include milkweed, shooting star, Oregon checker mallow and wapato.

• On Saturday, Nov. 30, the Oregon Ducks sailed past the Washington Huskies 49–21 for the team’s first undefeated regular season since 2010. While Texas A&M arrested fans for posing as construction workers with the fake names “Harry Azcrac” and “Duncan McCockiner,” and Ohio State vs. Michigan ended in a pepper-spray fueled brawl at midfield, the Ducks made it look easy, remaining the only undefeated team in college football this season and ranked No. 1 for seven weeks straight.
