Come by today!

We are having The Lost Apple Project at our nursery to host a Q&A and information booth about their work! The Lost Apple Project, in a quick way, helps find lost heirloom apple varieties and bring them back to the public eye.
They are here to talk about lost heirloom apple varieties, local apple history, grafting, apple selection, and much more!
We are excited to have a local conservation group at our nursery to share their knowledge and experience! Please stop by from 10-2 to learn more!

This week’s houseplant restock has a lot of foliage varieties! Variegated, waxy, bumpy, carnivorous, sharp, smooth, tall, short, other descriptors 💫

Multi colored flowers have a range from subtle to
extreme in the world of annuals! Makes it easy to toss in a few plants to add extra pops of color to mixed pots ✨
(Even the honey bees agree)

With these random hot days (thank you Washington) we are thinking about our favorite drought tolerant plants! Here’s our “go for’s” for ground cover and perennials.

✨Bumblebees are not drought tolerant and would like a little dish of water with pebbles to stay hydrated.

The roses are starting to really bloom and smell amazing ✨
It’s a great time to select exactly what flower you’re looking for and get them in the ground!
All of our roses come in pulp pots that can be planted right in the ground and biodegradable over time!

We are open today from 10am - 4pm!
