A native plant sale will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, April 27 at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge, located in Sherwood.

Did you know that native plants supply four times the nutrition as exotic ornamentals to birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife? Go native and grow natives!
