IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO RECYCLED GARDENS

There's no one reason to point a finger at, if there were we'd find a way to fix it, but Recycled Gardens has failed to thrive during the reorganization period announced last year and the charity nursery is slated to close forever on May 31^st.   All proceeds from the closeout will, as always, fund spay/neuter surgeries throughout Oregon, as RG's parent organization, POPPA (Pet Over-Population Prevention Advocates), Inc., will stay in business by now concentrating all our volunteer time and effort on securing grants and corporate funding. 

Recycled Gardens' has already rolled back prices to the original $2.50 per gallon we sold them for when we opened on July 14, 2001.  And, all mature shrubs are half off their marked price.  Hours have been reduced to Fridays and Saturdays ONLY for the rest of May, 10am-5pm each day-that's only two weeks folks!  All purchases made at this sale must be either hauled away the same day or picked up within the following week.  This sale will also include all plants in the display gardens, but these plants will have to be dug up and hauled away by the purchaser.  PLUS, while supplies last, all clay pots in stock will be given away FREE with any purchase!    Purchases must be via cash or checks only.

A facilities sale will be held on Saturday, May 31^st, from 10am-5pm.  This sale will feature tools, garden carts, wheelbarrows, folding tables, patio furniture, and anything else that isn't classified as flora.  Sorry all, the barn itself is NOT for sale.

RG is NOT accepting any additional plant donations, but rather recommending they be given to schools, since they have no budget for landscaping in these difficult economic times, and/or other non-profits like the libraries in Banks and North Plains who hold annual plant sales as fundraisers.  Plastic pot recycling has also been curtailed-please take your containers to the nearest Far West Fiber location instead.
