A Monthly Flower Blog Documenting What Grows and What’s Available in Portland, Oregon
“Not until I began volunteering on farms around the Pacific Northwest did I really know what was in season or possible to grow in Portland. Just taking a stroll through the grocery store, you’d assume roses bloomed year round. Having everything the world has to offer available at all times had disconnected me from my home. In an effort to reacquaint myself and others with what the PNW has to offer, I present, Portland Seasonal: A Monthly Flower Blog Documenting What Grows and What’s Available in Portland, Oregon.”
Note: Every year is different. With the affects of Climate Change the variability of the seasons often yield surprises. This blog series serves as a record of what’s bloomed and available by month and year.
A few other considerations: we source exclusively from farms in Oregon and Southern Washington. These are in Plant Hardiness Zone 6a - 8b. We focus on working with small farmers who promote sustainability.
