Directions

Berry Creek Garden opened this year in the courtyard outside Mac Market, behind a set of blue doors.

Lee, who owns it, stocks natives and plants that can handle a dry Willamette summer. That sounds like a small thing until you’ve watched something die in August that you bought in May. Alongside the natives are varietals you won’t find at the big stores, primroses in every color come spring, and a good selection of tools.

The real reason to go is that Lee will help. One customer showed up with a few pots from home and no plan, and left with a collection that worked together. You don’t get that at a garden center.

You’re in the Granary District, in the courtyard of the old shoe grease factory, with Honey Pie Pizza, Alea, Wellspent Market, and Day by Day all a few steps away. Coffee, a plant, lunch, groceries, one parking spot.

Closed Monday through Wednesday.

Common questions

What do they carry?
Native plants and varieties suited to dry Willamette Valley summers, alongside less common varietals, seasonal flowers, and gardening tools.

Why natives?
They survive here without constant watering. It’s a deliberate focus rather than a general nursery selection.

Will they help me plan?
Yes, and it’s what people mention. Bring photos of your space or your existing pots and Lee will put something together.

Where exactly is it?
In the courtyard outside Mac Market on Alpine Avenue, in the Granary District. Look for the blue doors.

What else is nearby?
Honey Pie Pizza, Alea, Wellspent Market, Day by Day, and Sustainable Rituals are all in the same complex, with Flag & Wire, Heater Allen, and Grain Station a short walk.

Is it new?

Yes, recently opened.
