Finding the stall
Canal Street Flower Market, 210 NW Canal Street
Portland, OR 97209
Come in by the loading-dock doors. We're the ninth stall on the left, under the yellow sign. Open in maps
Before you come
Do I have to pay online?
No. Holds are free. You pay at the stall when you collect, by card or cash.
How long do the flowers last?
Most stems give you five to eight days in fresh water. We cut them the day before market, so they've barely started.
Can you deliver?
Not ourselves. Ask at the stall and we'll call a courier we trust for anything within the city.
What if a variety sells out before pickup?
Held stems are pulled from the bucket as soon as your hold arrives, so they won't. If a grower's delivery fails, we text you a swap.
