Getting Started

What is NurseryGuide.com?

NurseryGuide.com is a nationwide resource produced by the Oregon Association of Nurseries (OAN) to help professional buyers find more wholesale plant material and help growers sell more. It connects you with trusted growers, suppliers, and service providers across the industry.

Is NurseryGuide.com free to use?

Yes! Creating a registered Professional User account is free and unlocks additional tools like saving favorites, rating plants, and personalizing your search.

How do I create an account?

Click “Register” at the top of the home page, fill out the short form, and confirm your email. Your account is active immediately.

IMPORTANT: If you are an OAN Member, your account has already been set up for you.

Does NurseryGuide.com work on mobile?

Yes. The site is fully mobile-friendly and designed for easy searching on phones and tablets.

Searching

How do I search for plants?

You can search in two ways:

  • Type the plant name directly into the search bar, or
  • Select Plants from the navigation to search, browse and filter.

From there, you can filter results by zone, size, production type, category, exposure, availability, and more — making it easy to find exactly what you need.

Can I search for growers or suppliers?

Yes. You can:

  • Type a company name directly into the search bar, or
  • Select Companies from the navigation to search, browse and filter.

Filters allow you to narrow by business type, sales type and where they ship to, so you can quickly identify the right supplier.

Are the listings updated regularly?

Yes. Listings are kept up to date by OAN members. New varieties and new listings are added frequently.

How accurate is plant availability?

Availability is provided directly by growers. For the most accurate and updated information, we recommend contacting the company using the contact details on their profile page.

How do I save a plant or company as a favorite?

Sign in to your account and click the Favorite button on any plant or company profile page. It will be stored in your personal Favorites list, found on your Dashboard.

What is the Favorites feature used for?

Favorites let you easily save plants, companies, and listings so you can return to them quickly — especially during the busy buying season.

How do I contact a grower or supplier?

Each company listing includes phone, email, and website so you can reach out directly.

Professional Accounts

What are the benefits of creating a registered user account?

Registered users can:

  • Save favorite plants, services, supplies and companies
  • Rate plants
  • Save searches
  • Receive updates on new plant varieties and new listings
How do I receive updates on new varieties or listings?

Registered users automatically receive our Nursery Guide email updates highlighting new varieties, fresh listings, and site improvements.

How do I reset my password?

Click Forgot Password on the login page. A reset link will be emailed to you.

Listings & Profiles

How do I list my plants, products or services on NurseryGuide.com?

Listings are a benefit of OAN membership. Contact OAN at Membership@OAN.org to get started or learn about membership options at OAN.org/JOIN.

How much does it cost to list plants, products or services in Nursery Guide?

Listing fees are annual and based on the total number of listings you publish each year. The more you list, the lower your per-listing rate:

1–5 listings: $7 per listing
6–25 listings: $6 per listing
26–75 listings: $5.75 per listing
76–150 listings: $5.50 per listing
151–300 listings: $5.25 per listing
300+ listings: $5 per listing

You can also feature Priority Listings for added visibility at $12 per listing.

Once I’ve chosen my listings and paid, can I change them?

Of course. Add, drop or archive plant, product and service listings at any time. If your total number of listings does not go up, there is no added cost. Your changes take effect on the website immediately. Your listings that are in effect on or around May 1 are those that will be published in the NurseryGuide book.

Can out-of-state companies participate?

Absolutely! NurseryGuide.com serves buyers and sellers across the U.S. Many of our members list from outside Oregon.

How do I update my listings?

OAN Members can log in and go to their Dashboard to update plant lists, service and supply lists, videos and photos, availability, and company information. That’s also where you pay when you’re done working and ready to take those listings live.

Need help? OAN staff can assist at NurseryGuide@OAN.org or 503-682-5089.
