About the Plant Auction

Welcome to another Portland Botanical Gardens Online Plant Auction, held in conjunction with the Design Portland exhibition (featuring the botanical gardens) February 5-26 at the JK Gill Building in downtown Portland. 

The three-week exhibition centers on the design, planning, and work to establish botanical gardens along the Willamette River by the non-profit Portland Botanical Gardens. 

The online auction serves as a fundraiser and a way to raise the profile of our amazing nurseries and their plants.

Amazing Plants on Display

A central feature of the exhibition is a display of select plants on a large table (see right) and in the window. Some of the auction plants will be featured at the exhibit, and the rest are back in their nurseries waiting for a new home.
