The soil here is black and rich, and a large stand of Douglas Fir and Alder shelter us from the northwest winds off the ocean. A year round creek gives us pure spring water that has a ph of around 6.0, making this site is a superb location for growing all the plants we offer. When you enter the front gates, you are greeted by a view of our Maple House, built of redwood beams and lattice, offering an attractive protective surround for these wonderful plants. Turning to the South, you can walk into our main display garden Created 6 years ago, this garden was designed to display a large variety of dwarf to semi-dwarf rhododendrons , dwarf conifers, flowering cherry trees, Himalayan Birch trees and Japanese maples. A small pond and waterfall at the back offers another dimension with the sound of water flowing over the rocks.
All children visiting the nursery always end up here, looking for fish and other critters.
This garden has a sitting area between a group of Jacquemontii Birch trees, next to the pond, which has many visitors bringing their picnics lunches at noontime. Our office is nestled between banks of rhododendrons and conifers so as to blend into the gardens. It is small but serves its purpose. Inside we have one wall built as a lightbox, showing full bloom color for many of our favorites. Unusual dwarf conifers, dwarf Pieris, Hydrangeas, dwarf Rhododendrons and Azaleas, and some Heathers add to the mix.
