Plant Sale Saturday
This Saturday May 13th, from 12-5.
Please join us for this inaugural plant sale at illahe rare plants, I can’t say grand opening because I actually started a nursery and garden here 14 years ago but it’s been on a bit of a hiatus until now. We are super excited to enhance your gardens this year. We have tons of great drought tolerant and heat loving species and cultivars of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals as well as some rare and unusual bulbs. A Collectors Corner will be out with some fun and challenging alpine species for the crevice garden/collector folks, and if you are just starting into rock gardening (which everyone should be!) we have the foundation plants for starting your garden. If your garden is boggy/wet we have plants for you and if you are struggling with climate change, we have hardy grown plants that are tough and adaptable. Just an idea bring Mom out for a walk around the garden and then visit Sass Winery, just up the hill from us, or our personal favorite with its excellent wood fired pizza and wine, Ankeney Vinyards just a short drive down the road, or enjoy the views at Coria Estate Winery up the hill from us. Even better, have a glass of wine and then come shopping to loosen the purse strings!
Getting here: The Nursery is at 7645 Sunnyside Rd Se Salem, Or. We are right at the corner of Sunnyside, Delaney and Jackson Hill Rds. From I-5 take exit 248 and head west on Delaney Rd. past the Christmas Trees and Vinyards at the stop sign turn left onto Sunnyside and immediately park in front of the wooden fence on your right, or come in the driveway and park in front of the shop on the gravel if there is room. Parking is available down the shoulder on Sunnyside, but please don’t block any neighbors driveways and no parking in the red schoolhouse lot. We don’t have restroom facilities available so please plan accordingly.
We hope to see you at the plant sale!
