Recycled Gardens
Recycled Gardens is what happens when you pair a good cause with a great idea. By selling a huge variety of donated plants, the good folks from the non-profit, Pet Over Population Prevention Advocates, Inc., (POPPA) raise funds to support its spay and neutering assistance program. Run primarily by volunteers, Recycled Gardens is POPPA’s nursery located where the suburbs begin to blend into farmland (left intact primarily due to Oregon’s Urban Growth Boundaries). Recycled Gardens carries a HUGE variety of well-established and well-cared for plants, most priced at $4 per gallon. Everything I’ve planted from here thrived this past season, filling my sun-baked yard with drought tolerant cistus, sedum, lavender, sage, Elijah blue, oat grass, rosemary, etc. If you have even the slightest inclination to toil in the earth, skip the commercial nurseries and take a trip out to Recycled Gardens … not only will you get a great deal on beautiful plants, you’ll also be saving animals from suffering and neglect due to overpopulation.
