We Deliver All Your Gardening Needs

Over 1,000 Varieties Of Large And Small Ornamental Trees, Shrubs,
Edibles And Selected Perennials


You'll find the most extensive selection of hardy outdoor plants in the area. 

You'll find unusual varieties, old standbys and premium size trees. 

We stock shade, fruit, nut and flowering trees; Japanese maples (60+varieties), conifers including many dwarfs, dogwoods, berry plants and small fruit plants, weeping, twisted and shaped trees, northwest natives, rock garden plants, bamboo and bonsai.

Perennials are carefully selected for this area. They will actually come back each year and some will even bring their friends. 

We've chosen not to carry annuals. 
(There's a joke in the nursery business that "annuals" means the customers keep coming back each year to buy plants and "perennials" means the plants come back each year.)

We will also locate hardy, outdoor plants for you!

Please see our extensive inventory listings on the inventory page to search for a particular plant or contact us.

Container Gardening
We have a wide selection of Frost Proof Pots, stone and faux stone (resin or hypertufa) planters.  Dwarf conifers and ornamental grasses make great container plants and you can finish off the container with a variety of perennials. 
You may want a pre-planted container or we can help you choose the plants.  Be sure to see our garden tips sheet on Year Round Container gardening. 


Granite Lanterns, Tsukubai (basins), and Bird Spas

While strolling through the display garden you may have noticed a variety of stone garden art.  The lanterns are all pre-drilled for installing lights and can easily be taken apart and reassembled at your house.  The basins and bird spas are wonderful for offering water to our feathered, winged and furry friends. 


Benches and Fountains
The stone benches and fountains were installed by our partner Northwest Projects.  They can design a fountain, water feature or bench to suit any site.  Visit their website (Northwest Projects) to learn more about them.

Real Leaf Jewelry and Ornaments

The leaves used in the jewelry and ornaments or suncatchers are all real. A special process is used to preserve the original leaf shape and character while they are plated with copper or gold.

Potting Soil, Compost and Bark
We stock bagged potting soil for use in containers, rooting new plants or starting seeds.  We also carry potting soils designed for bonsai and cactus or other rock garden plants. 

Are yechy soil, rocks or sandy soils making your plants puny?  Want a spring tonic for your lawn?  Try topdressing or mixing compost with your garden soil.  Be sure to wet the compost thoroughly before using.  The composting process that kills the weeds and bad stuff causes the soil to actually repel water until it is thoroughly soaked.  We carry compost from Cedar Grove or Silver Springs; it's certified organic and is weed free.

for more information.  


Ground bark makes a great mulch to help keep down the weeds and reduce water evaporation from the soil.  In time it breaks down and enriches your soil. Compost and bark are sold by the cubic yard loaded in your truck. 

Landscape Fabric, Bamboo Stakes, Fertilizer and Tried and True Garden Remedies
We stock landscape fabric in 12' widths up to 300' per roll.  Other sizes are available by special order, please call for current pricing. 

We personally test all of the products we offer.  We are chemical minimalists and believe that good plant culture and choosing the right plant will avoid most diseases and pests.  But when you just have to kill that pest, we offer some real solutions.

Mycorrhizae Soil Drench or How to add Good Bacteria and Fungi to Your Soil
Good healthy soil is alive with all kinds of microorganisms.  These microorganisms aerate the soil, break down organic matter and make the nitrogen and other nutrients available to plants.  (Highly simplified explanation, point is that this is good stuff for the soil.)

Plant Sucess Soil Drench is in a water soluble form.  It contains 13 carefully selected mycorrhizal fungi, 2 tricoderma species and 17 bacterial species well-suited to a variety of soils, climates and plants. Plant Success contains mycorrhizal fungi that colonize an essential link between plant and soil, producing plants of the highest quality. Also included is specially formulated natural root biostimulant. The plant enjoys improved nutrient and water uptake, and superior field performance. 

Pot Deposits and Recycling Nursery Pots
Nursery pots are made from petroleum products and have become increasingly expensive.  Rather than add the cost of a pot to the price of your plants, we list the price for the plant and charge a deposit on larger nursery pots. 
Simply return the pot with your receipt showing the deposit amount on your next trip to the nursery and we will refund your deposit.

We also accept 6” (#1 or ‘gallon’) and larger nursery pots in usable condition for recycling.  Smaller pots are returned to the growers, given to the master gardeners, horticultural programs or to any other gardener that would like them.  If you want some small nursery pots, just call or stop by, we usually have plenty.
