Sparrowhawk Native Plants partners with community organizations to provide habitat-friendly and climate-resilient native plants to local gardeners, while giving back tens of thousands of dollars to conservation efforts. This fall, we’re teaming up with People of Color Outdoors, Columbia Slough Watershed Council, Depave, Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood Association, Black Futures Farm, Learning Gardens Laboratory, Multnomah County Master Gardeners' Demonstration Garden, and Tualatin Riverkeepers!
By our powers combined, over 40,000 native plants will take root and about $20,000 will go back to these inspiring community partners.
Here’s How it Works
1) Order Plants Online between August 18 - September 15 (or all until pop-up locations fill up): Browse profiles of 115+ native plant species from the comfort of your couch. Filter by sun, moisture, and more to find the right plant for the right place in your yard. Some species may sell out quickly, so we recommend getting your order in early! At checkout, select your pick-up location, date and time.
2) Pick-up Pre-ordered Plants in October: We'll look forward to seeing you at one of the four pop-up locations in October. These pop-ups are large, outdoor, parking-lot style events;

3) Plants for the Planet - Proceeds for the Community: Every season, Sparrowhawk gives back up to $20,000 to the community partners that host each event. So, sink your hands in the dirt and feel good! Your new native plants will support birds, bees, and butterflies in your neighborhood, while proceeds support an inspiring line-up of community partners.
