Walking Tour
One in three bites of food you eat depends on pollinators.
About 90% of flowering plants depend on animal pollinators—mostly insects like bees, butterflies, flies, and beetles, but also birds, bats, and small mammals. We also host honey bee hives!
Pringle Creek Community was designed to be pollinator-friendly, featuring diverse, season-long blooms with an emphasis on Oregon native plants. Chemical spraying is strictly prohibited.
Homes here are required to have a percentage of native plants, and many yards are certified Little Habitats, which provide a diverse amount of plants, nesting places, and water sources for pollinators.
Our edible landscape—such as cherries, apples, plums, pears, peaches, blueberries, and strawberries—feeds both residents and pollinators. Gardens, homes with native yards, and orchards are densely planted to ensure pollinators never have to travel far for food.
Why plant native?
Oregon native plants don’t just survive here—they belong here. They anchor ecosystems, feed and support specialist species, hold the land together through both rainy and hot seasons, survive in our tough clay soils, and require far less water.
To plant native is to participate in the relationship between humans and the earth — to live with humility, intention, and belonging. You don’t need imported beauty. You’re standing on it.
