Native plant horticultural nursery. Top products: Native plants, Shrubs, Perennials, Landscape starter kits. The High Desert Horticultural Center is a specialized nursery and educational facility located in Central Oregon, dedicated to the promotion and cultivation of plants native to the east Cascades and sagebrush-steppe ecosystems. Unlike traditional retail nurseries, the center operates as both a production nursery and a demonstration site, focusing on regional ecological sustainability. Their horticultural mission is to empower homeowners, landscapers, and urban gardeners to create resilient, low-maintenance landscapes that provide critical habitat for pollinators and conserve water resources. By prioritizing species adapted to the high desert climate, they eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers and excessive irrigation. In addition to plant production, the center serves as an educational hub, offering community classes and volunteer opportunities that teach sustainable gardening practices. Their offerings are specifically selected to support local biodiversity, improve air and water quality, and provide functional, aesthetically pleasing landscapes that thrive in unpredictable high-desert conditions.
