Calling all wildflower lovers! Our farewell-to-spring (Clarkia amoena) are 50% off at the Plant Stand this weekend, open Saturday and Sunday from 10am-4pm.

Farewell-to-spring is a showstopping annual wildflower that is perfect for beds, borders, containers, rock gardens, and butterfly/bee meadows!

At Oxbow, no two field trips are the same—because every day, the farm is alive with new discoveries. From tiny worms in muddy hands to bursts of color blooming in garden beds, students are invited to learn by feeling, tasting, wondering, and doing. 🌱 Learn more: bit.ly/oxbowfarmadv...

Annuals abound at Oxbow's Plant Stand! These species lead a remarkably efficient life—germinating, flowering, and setting seed all in one season. Within months, they bring vibrant color, charm, and essential food and habitat for wildlife. They're also fantastic for container gardens! buff.ly/soWhfpQ

Fawn lilies (Erythronium oreganum) are shining this weekend at the Plant Stand! Oxbow’s trails are waking up too. Walk among blooms, feel the energy of life unfurling, and take a little bit of spring home to your own garden. The weather couldn’t be better.
