I used to be a sucker for those pretty plants at Lowe's. But somehow, the stuff from Xera keeps coming back year after year. Turns out they focus on plants that actually belong in our area. Who knew that was a thing? Fair warning - it's small and parking's a pain on weekends during spring and summer. But trust me, it's worth it. If you're tired of watching your garden die every year, give Xera a shot. Your green thumb might finally show up!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Portland Garden Decor -- A Truly Exceptional Experience…read more From the moment we walked into Portland Garden Decor on the Sunday before Memorial Day, Stefan and his crew were nothing short of incredible. We had an idea of what we wanted, and within minutes they were gathering pieces from around the grounds and building two complete fountains right in front of us so we could compare styles, sound, and flow. They filled each fountain by hand, balanced them perfectly, and turned them on so we could experience the full effect. We were honestly blown away. The craftsmanship, the care, and the attention to detail were on another level. Stefan's pricing is more than fair -- especially considering we had looked online beforehand and anything comparable was well over $3,000. His deal was so good we couldn't pass it up. He answered every question with patience and expertise, and let us know they could deliver to the Fisher's Landing area after glazing the piece, which we requested. Just as promised, Stefan called on Wednesday and arrived promptly for delivery. He and his one man crew handled the extremely heavy base with ease and professionalism, bringing everything carefully around to our backyard. In under 30 minutes, they had the fountain set, filled, leveled, running beautifully, and even treated the water with algicide. The level of service was truly above and beyond. We couldn't be happier with our fountain or with the entire experience. We highly recommend Portland Garden Decor to anyone looking for a custom fountain or unique garden pieces. We'll absolutely be back for statues, pottery, and fountains in the future.

Since my last review, I've had a few more great experiences with Arium…read more This past weekend, Tyler helped me replant a large dracaena (that I found in a dumpster!). I've been able to keep most of my plants alive but repotting is always a risky inflection point for me. I was so grateful to be able to pop in to Arium unannounced and get a pot and soil, promptly, and for less than I expected to pay. Arium also led a planting activity at an event I attended last month. Just like in-store, the staff member seemed so genuinely excited to be talking about plants. It's a magical place for plant lovers - definitely check it out!

Echo Valley Natives is a small family owned retail nursery specializing in quality and ethically…read moregrown PNW native plants. They first opened in 2001 in Oregon City. In 2021, they moved to Sandy. Their website maintains an availability sheet so you can see what they've got before you make the drive out, but it is worth visiting to see the plants in action. They have small display gardens. The entire property is outdoors so dress warmly in case of rain. They're open year round, but at a high enough elevation that they get snow in winter so plan accordingly. I recently visited looking for plants to go near my frog pond. The staff was so helpful in showing me around to potential options. I have a decent native plant knowledge but they've got so many options! Plants I've never heard of before! As usual, I left with more plants than I planned on getting :) So far, they're happy in the ground, and I can't wait to see how they thrive in spring. Keep an eye on the business's social media for sales. Oh and they accept nursery pots back so you don't have to trash or recycle them!
