In a Year that Decimated Small Businesses, This Family-Owned Portland Nursery Hit a Sales High

Nurseries and garden centers were one of the few business categories allowed to stay open through the quarantine shutdowns, providing a much needed outlet for the many housebound Oregonians looking to better themselves and their yards. Southwest Portlandâs Cornell Farm, which had its beginnings a century ago as a dairy and has been a retail nursery since 1987, reported a more than 40 percent increase in sales in 2020 over the year before, with owner Deby Barnhart estimating as many as half of the customers were newbies.
Why was digging in the dirt, specifically, so many peopleâs new favorite hobby?
âGardening can meet you wherever you are,â Barnhart says of the relatively inexpensive pastime embraced when so many other amusements were off limits. And with more than 800 varieties of annuals and perennials, an impressive array of large-specimen trees, and a bucolic hilltop setting surrounding a historic farmhouse, itâs no surprise Barnhartâs five-acre, fifth-generation family farm was where so many people chose to explore their newfound obsession.

A number of plants will be harder to find this year, because there simply aren’t as many of them.
As for why, you can blame the same thing responsible for mask-wearing and social distancing and rampant business closures and unemployment.
Yes, the coronavirus pandemic.
But not in the way you might think.
The main reason for the shortages, according to Nancy Buley of J. Schmidt & Son, a wholesale grower of trees based in Boring, is that the pandemic kept people home, where they in turn noticed that their gardens could use a little — or much more than a little — sprucing up.

“Man, am I ever going to miss 2020.”
— Said no one, ever
Dennis: From a deadly pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans to an economy that shed as many as 22 million jobs and forced the permanent closure of more than 100,000 businesses, to an election that has turned Americans against each other in a way not seen in many a lifetime, 2020 is not going to make anyone’s list of fun-filled years.
But the negative is only part of the story, albeit the most-obvious one.

It’s not too late to get something, to quote Cousin Eddie from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “real nice” for the gardener on your holiday gift list this year.
Even if that gardener is you. After everything that has happened in 2020, you deserve an extra special gift, even if it wouldn’t be much of a surprise on Christmas morning.
Given the extraordinary nature of this pandemic-dominated year, which we can all agree can’t end soon enough, we’re putting some parameters on our gardening gift suggestions. Specifically, the items — with one obvious exception — are available at Portland area businesses and can be ordered online (or via phone) for curbside pickup or contact-free home delivery.
