The 20th Annual Marion Soil and Water Conservation District Native Plant Sale and Scholarship Fundraiser is happening online until Feb. 21.
Using native plants in your landscape helps support and enhance local environments and habitat for wildlife, birds, and pollinators.
Native plants are a great benefit to any landscape because they require minimal or no water once they are established, they rarely require additional fertilizers or pesticides, native plants increase the biodiversity of an area.
Profits from the native plant sale fund the Stan Vistica Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded yearly to two students from Marion County who are studying natural resources or agriculture at an Oregon college or university.
There will be no day-of-sales this year due to COVID-19.
