Pollack and Sons liquidating
Filed Under Clark County, Home + Garden, News | Leave a Comment
Pollack and Sons Specialty Nursery is in the midst of liquidating its stock in order to go out of business. All inventory is 50 percent off. The sale will be held Mondays through Saturdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. while supplies last. Visit them online or just go by the six-acre nursery at 7901 N.E. 179th St. in Battle Ground.
Sad, but amazing for fall planting.
