Frequently Asked Questions
🌱 What is the East Portland Plant Buying Club?
Hi! I’m Chris, a gardener here in East Portland. I started this little project to make gardening more affordable and fun for neighbors and friends who love plants as much as I do. Each season, I research good suppliers, hand-pick a selection of bulbs and plants, and set up this website for pre-orders. When the shipment arrives, I sort and pack everything at home and set up local pickup times so folks can swing by and grab their goodies.
🛒 How does it work?
It’s pretty simple! Just place your order online. You’ll receive a confirmation email immediately, followed by another one later with the pickup schedule. Once the shipment arrives and I’ve packed your order, I’ll send you an email to confirm it’s ready.
📍 When and where do I pick up?
Saffron bulbs usually arrive first—sometime in mid-to-late August. Garlic, shallots, and spring-flowering bulbs tend to show up around mid-October. Pickups happen at my place in the Russell neighborhood of outer NE Portland. I’ll send you the address and details once your order’s ready.
💳 What kinds of payment do you accept?
You can pay online with a credit card. If you’d prefer to pay by check or cash, just email me to make arrangements—we’ll figure it out.
Still have a question after reading this? Feel free to send me an email—I’m happy to help!
