Seasonal

These elegant trees are grown throughout the world for their beautiful blooms;

 multi-season interest, attractive structure, handsome bark, ornamental seed

pods and lush foliage, make them highly prized as a specimen tree in landscapes

large and small.  There are more than 200 species of magnolia, not including

numerous cultivars and varieties, that are widely available as deciduous and

evergreen trees, and range in size from a large tree to smaller shrub like forms.

However, the most common types found in cultivation fall into three primary

groups: Star Magnolia, Saucer Magnolia, and Southern Magnolia.  The Star

Magnolia group is ideal for colder climates and are often multi-trunk or

sometimes seen in a single trunk form. The blooms emerge from fuzzy silver

buds in early to mid spring that open with tassel-like petals that are white to

a soft pink, followed by ornamental seed pods and dark green leaves reaching

up to 10'-20' tall by 8'-12' wide. The Saucer Magnolia group are known

for showy spring blooms in a magnificent display that emerge from soft silvery 

buds with large blooms in yellow, pink, or shades of purple. The bloom sizes

vary from variety to variety, it can also be a multi-trunk or single trunk tree

that features a silvery to tan bark that is a beautiful addition to the winter

landscape. The grand dame of the Magnolias, the Southern Group, is well

known for its huge citrus-scented ivory blooms in summer and stately form

that features glossy dark green leaves with copper felting on the undersides.

After blooming, the flowers leave behind large, tawny felted seed pods that

can last for months. These magnolias have many cultivars that range from

 small to quite large. Call for details or come in and see our friendly staff. 

Edible Gardening

A delicious selection of vegetables and herbs have arrived, just in time

 to get your garden started. Stop by to choose the edibles that are right

 for you, whether you have a large plot of land or a container on your

 balcony, we have edibles that are just right for your space and your

 lifestyle. Choose from cabbage, lettuce, onions, carrots, and so much

more. These veggies are cool-season crops, as they prefer crisper weather

conditions and, at the end of summer, can be planted again for another

crop in the garden or containers. Don't forget to check back in mid-May

and get your warm season vegetables including tomatoes, peppers, squash

and more. 

Rhododendrons And Azaleas

We have just received a beautiful selection of these Western Washington garden

staples in a dazzling array of colors and sizes.  These acid-loving plants thrive in

 moderately moist, well-drained soil and in the morning sun to partial afternoon

shade.  These stunning spring bloomers thrive in our naturally acidic soils but

are shallow-rooted, so a good practice is to provide a layer of mulch around the

base, paying close attention to not allowing it to touch the trunk during our often

warm stretches in the summer.  Rhododendrons and azaleas come in many different

 forms big to small dwarf varieties that are either evergreen or even deciduous. Come

on in and see the show as they begin to bloom. Many varieties to choose from.

Limited quantities.

Japanese Maples

A Pacific Northwest favorite, the iconic Japanese maple is available in a variety of sizes,

 styles and foliage colors. This graceful deciduous tree is well known for its stunning

 fall color; however, it also offers beautiful structure whether in leaf or bare branched.

 In addition, many varieties offer unique variegated foliage or colored bark. Gardening

 in small spaces can seem limiting, and we may feel reluctant about planting a tree.

The good news is there are many small varieties that are well-suited to compact spaces

or container gardening. Come on down to the farm and see our vast collection of these

tried and true landscape stars. Varieties include Shaina, Twombly's Red Sentinel,

Katsura, and many, many more.

 Fresh Digs

We have a huge selection of freshly dug trees and shrubs from our fertile fields in the

 scenic Snohomish valley as we have concluded our 2025 harvest. Pictured below are just

 three examples of our recent additions at the nursery. The Greensleeves Kousa dogwood

 was discovered in Massachusetts, features dark green leaves, and is a prolific blooming

tree that produces a large cop of red fruit in late followed by a dazzling fall display of red

and purple leaves. This dogwood has a vase shape and can reach 15-20ft tall and 15ft wide.

We also have fresh conifers as well, such as the Dwarf Golden Spreader Nordman Fir, which

 has a striking golden winter hue that can brighten up those shady areas in the landscape.

Reaching 3ft tall and 4-5ft wide.  And if you are looking for something for a container or a

narrow area, the Thoweil Dwarf Hinoki Cypress is a wonderful choice. This deep green conifer

 is slow-growing and has a narrow, sculpted upright habit, reaching 5-6ft tall and 2ft wide,

 makes it an ideal addition to any smaller landscape space.

  Come on down and see what's new on the farm!
