Due to diversity being the chief strength of the state's nursery industry, buyers from all around the world visit each year to purchase plants. Oregon nurseries produce 5,000 varieties of plants, from small seedlings through containerized landscaping materials to mature " specimen-sized" trees. This makes the selection for buyers a veritable gold mine of high-quality nursery products.

To help buyers locate desired plant materials, the Oregon Association of Nurserymen provides a hot line number, 800-342-6401.
