NPSO Native Plant Garden at Avery Park
In 1996 the Corvallis Chapter of the Native Plant Society installed a native plant garden in Avery Park surrounding the CEC's Avery House Nature Center. The garden focuses on habitat types specific to our region, such as coniferous understory, prairie, oak woodland, and a rock garden. Come see what's growing, volunteer to help maintain the garden, or click on the image to the left to view the garden's website and learn more about gardening with natives!

Avery Park is a 75-acre county park with walking/biking trails along the Mary's River and is located just south of Philomath Ave. off 15th St. in Corvallis (1310 SW Avery Park Dr.). The Avery House is also the chapter's monthly meeting location at 7:30pm on the second Monday of each month (October-June).
