Join us for the 40th Annual Fruit Propagation Fair!

This event will be held at the main pavilion at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds. In a few short hours, we'll sell hundreds of rootstocks, give away thousands of scions, graft untold numbers of trees, complete our Make-A-Tree orders, and help lots of folks launch into the pleasure of growing good fruit at home!

Once a month make time in your day to relax and take in the eastern sky as the sun sets and the moon rises.  This evening vivid colors paint the sky, the earth's shadow rises, heralding the coming of night, and a full moon makes its dramatic entrance into the night sky.  Daytime wildlife seeks shelter as nighttime creatures emerge.  Join us thirty minutes before sunset, once a month, at select City of Hillsboro park sites.  A Parks & Recreation naturalist will be on hand to help you tune in to the many wonderful events that attend the passing of day into night.  Dress comfortably for the weather, you may wish to bring a blanket and a warm beverage.  Some seating is provided but you may wish to bring something to sit upon, a pad or blanket for the ground or a portable chair.
