What our members love

Come for the plants, stay for the discoveries, the inspiration, and the people.

Membership with the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon opens the door to plants, people, and ideas that deepen your connection to gardening. From behind-the-scenes garden access to expert talks, plant sales, and shared curiosity, it’s a place to learn, explore, and grow alongside others who love plants as much as you do.

Members-Only Gardens

Lectures & Workshops

From inspiring lectures and workshops to special members-only events at nurseries, HPSO offers ongoing opportunities to learn from experts, swap ideas, and deepen your connection to plants and place.

Plant Sales & Events

From spring’s beloved Hortlandia to fall’s PlantFest and speaker series, members stay in the loop on plant sales and programs that celebrate great plants, great growers, and the joy of discovery.

Community & Resources

From the HPSO Quarterly magazine in print and digital to weekly newsletters, study groups, travel opportunities, and shared learning, members stay connected, curious, and inspired year-round.
