From one greenhouse, Cornell Farm has grown to 13 and staff to 20 or more.
Whether it's gorgeous spring bulbs, lush summer flowers, fiery autumn leaves, or tough winter blooms, Cornell Farm has been serving the Portland area with home-grown plants, organic supplies, and planet-friendly advice for 39 years. On Mother's Day 1987, founders Deby and husband Ed, opened a retail stand (The Patio) selling geraniums, fuchsia hanging baskets and large buckets of ripe cherry tomatoes grown in the first greenhouse. The business developed broader each year, adding more and more annual and perennial varieties, then containers and gardening supplies, and eventually houseplants, gifts, arbors, outdoor art, statuary and outdoor furniture. Today, Cornell Farm specializes in growing 1000 varieties of annuals and perennials, gourmet hanging baskets and container gardens. In addition to a proven selection of trees and shrubs, the newest varieties are also featured including the low maintenance landscaping roses and topiaries. Custom potting and consultation services and delivery are available, and a variety of classes are held sporadically during the year.

When you've created a buzzing garden, pollinators don't stop using your plants when summer ends. Though conventional wisdom tells us to tidy up the post-season mess, fallen leaves and spent stems are actually essential habitat for winter pollinators and other beneficial insects. This Saturday, September 19th, we've invited the for Invertebrate Conservation to discuss what the latest science says about "leaving the leaves" and creating truly pollinator-friendly gardens.
This free seminar will start at 11AM in our Victorian Teahouse.

If you stop by the Farm this week, you might notice some construction work 👷♀️ We'll have crews repairing some pavement and extending our paved driveway into the overflow lot for easier access. Most of the work will take place on Tuesday, 10/15 and Wednesday, 10/16. There may be some small disruptions, but we're still open and happy to help you find exactly what your garden needs. Thank you for your patience this week!

Looking through old photos, it's like 100 years just flew by. But holding onto 5 acres of farmland in the Portland Metro is a multi-generational effort that we're proud to celebrate — and none of it would have been possible without the support of our community.
Please join us on Saturday, September 12th from 1 - 4PM for our Century Farm Celebration! We'll have
🐐 Mini goats
🎸 Live music
🧁 Free cupcakes
And tons of historical photos to share our story (and Portland's!) through the decades.
See you there!

If these flowers make you think of spring... think again! The encore of reblooming azaleas (like this Double Shot™ Lavender from ) and clematis is why September is sometimes called our "second spring" in the Northwest 🥰

Your next plant obsession doesn't have to be big. Fall is a great time to explore the art of bonsai, whether you're experimenting with evergreens or tucking indoors for the season. And, thanks to the .society.of.portland (one of the oldest bonsai groups in the country), Portland is an amazing place to tap into the depth and creativity of the bonsai community 🌲

We are so proud to join the ranks of Oregon's Century Farms! This program was established in 1958 to honor the family farms and ranches that have withstood the test of time and evolved — which is no easy feat, especially inside the ever-growing Portland Metro area.
We're celebrating this accomplishment (and looking forward to the next century) at our Century Farm Celebration this Saturday, Sep 12th from 1 - 4PM. Join us for live music, a baby goat petting zoo, and free cupcakes for the birthday party of the century 😆 We'll you see you there!
