Fall Plant Sale at Bellevue Botanical Gardens

10 am to 1 pm

Fall is the perfect time to plant! Buy plants from a select group of local small nurseries and specialty growers who sell amazing perennials, shrubs, ferns, grasses and more.

This is a Farmer's Market style plant sale where you purchase plants directly from each seller - bring your own small wagon/cart.

The plant sale features plants from local growers including:

A Plethora of Primula
Blue Frog Nursery
Botanica
Celestial Dream Garden
Earth Grown Creations
Fancy Fronds
Field and Forest Crafts
Lee Farm & Nursery
The Lim Garden
Predatory Perennials

The PARKING lot is often full - but additional parking is not far away - down Main Street at Wilburton Park.

Visit the NPA Border after shopping!

NPA Annual Meeting followed by Fantastic Plants and Where to Find Them

Presented by Mark Leichty, Dir. of Business Development for Little Prince of Oregon

Bellevue Botanical Garden, The Aaron Education Center and live-stream Zoom

- Noon: Social time and refreshments for in-person attendees
- 12:45 pm: Annual membership meeting
- 1 pm: Lecture at BBG and via Zoom

Get ready to geek out on plants! This September, NPA welcomes Mark Leichty — passionate plantsman and nursery industry veteran — for a presentation that promises to be as fun as it is informative.

Mark has served as Director of Business Development at Little Prince of Oregon since 2013. Little Prince of Oregon is located in the Willamette Valley just south of Portland, where they grow over 1,000 varieties spanning groundcovers, succulents, ferns, herbaceous perennials, grasses, rare and unusual varieties, tropicals, and houseplants. Little Prince has built its reputation on finding plants you simply can't find anywhere else — and Mark will be sharing some of those hidden gems with us.

In Fantastic Plants and Where to Find Them, Mark will take us on a tour of standout, unusual, and underused plants worth adding to our gardens and landscapes — and better yet, where and how to find them. And the timing couldn't be more perfect: fall is one of the best-kept secrets in gardening. Cooler temperatures and reliable rainfall give newly planted specimens the ideal conditions to quietly put down deep roots before winter arrives — setting them up to burst into their full glory come spring. Whether you're filling gaps in your garden or starting fresh, September is your green light to plant.

Join NPA for this event either in-person at Bellevue Botanical Garden or via Zoom. Please register to attend for both in-person and Zoom attendance. Walk-ins for non-registrants will be allowed up to venue seating capacity. Seats will be released for walk-ins at 12:45. Registrants must arrive by that time to claim their seat. Note that the BBG parking lot fills quickly and you may need to park in the Wilburton Park lot, so allow time for that.

NOTE: In-person attendance will be open to Members and Non-Members. Non-NPA members are also welcome to join us via Zoom. Non-Member tickets will be available September 1st.

A recording will be available to members and registrants through October 20, 2026.
