What should I expect in the 2024 sale?
There will be NO day-of sales this year; ALL orders must be placed online in advance.
You must pick up your plants on Saturday, February 17th between 9:30AM and 3:00PM at the CASEE Center, 11104 NE 149th St. Brush Prairie, WA. This year you will be required to select a specific 30-minute time slot for picking up your order.
Please refer to the Guide to the 2024 Plant Sale for additional details on how this year’s plant sale will work.
What does it mean, “Bundle of 5 plants”?
May I cancel or refund my order?
All sales are final. We will not be issuing refunds for any unpicked-up plants or cancellations. If you are no longer able to use your order, consider giving it to a friend or family member or we can facilitate a donation to the CASEE center
What if I need to change my pick-up time?
We are asking customers to select a pick up time this year to moderate the flow of people throughout the day. Thus, each time block will have a limited capacity. If you MUST change your time, please contact us at plantsale@clarkcd.org.
We cannot guarantee there will be slots available for an alternative time, so it is important to choose your time carefully.
What if you sell out of a plant I wanted? Will you be doing any re-stocks?
We will not be doing re-stocks this year. Make sure to place your orders early to avoid missing out on any plant species. Sign up for the plant sale email list on the store page to receive the latest plant sale-related news.

What are conservation grade species?
You may notice that the plants from our sale look different than ones you find at retail stores. This is because they are conservation-grade plants. They come as bareroot stock, small container stock, or plugs. Conservation grade stock is based on survivability not looks. In general, we expect plants to have a 75% survival rate. Due to expected mortality, we sell our plants in bundles of five.
To assist our customers, we have started taking pictures of the plants we receive and updating our plant photos. Check the plant pictures when ordering to see examples of what each conservation-grade species will look like when picking them up at our plant sale.
What happens to any unsold or unpicked-up plants?
We will make every effort to call you towards the end of the day of the plant sale. If we are not able to contact you we will donate all the remaining plants to the CASEE center students. They then use them on restoration plantings around the school or pot them and sell them later at their plant sale fundraiser. The CASEE center donates their space to us every year to use for the plant sale; this is a way we can support them and say thank you.
I have more questions…
No problem! Contact us to ask any unanswered questions you might have about the plant sale.
All plants are sold as bundles of five. That means you will receive five plants with every order. For example, if you order 1 quantity of blackcap raspberry, you would pay $14 and receive five plants. 1 Bundle = 5 plants.
Why do we do this? All our species are conservation grade, meaning there is a 75% survival. We want to make sure you have some surviving plants. We also want to keep prices low and bundling and buying them in larger quantities helps us keep prices as low as we can.
