Oregon Coast

Home of Native Myrtlewood & Maritime Herbalism

The Oregon Coast is a unique sensory corridor defined by the native Oregon Myrtle (Umbellularia californica) and maritime-hardy herbs. From Bandon to Astoria, this region focuses on the sustainable harvest of native evergreens and the specialized cultivation of botanicals that thrive in salt-spray and high-moisture environments, providing a distinctive “Coastal” chemical profile to the state’s aromatic portfolio.
