History:

Our Nursery was established in 1946 on the historic Jennings' farm. The nursery was primarily a specialty rhododendron nursery until the early seventies when it was diversified to offer a broader mix of trees and shrubs suitable for Northwest climates. In 1990 we purchased the nursery business, along with the seven acres of land under it, from Bob and Margie Hart who continue to care for La Conner Flats, an eleven-acre English Country Garden next door to the Nursery. It was a monumental decision for us at the time, but the right decision. We have not once looked back and, as one friend said, our work here at our nursery is our play.

We offer a unique collection of rare and unusual plants, including the largest selection of roses and perennials in Northwest Washington. Knowing that an extensive and healthy selection of plants along with a knowledgeable and personable staff are the two most important components of a nursery, we employ a year round team of Washington Certified Professional Horticulturalists. In addition to being formally educated, most of our staff have their own extensive personal gardens so they are able to offer their practical garden experience to our customers as well.  Many are longtime employees having been on our staff for ten to nearly twenty years. We all enjoy working in the middle of farmland in Skagit Valley, one of the most beautiful places in the world.
