September 2024 News! Nursery open days announced! We'll be open Saturdays beginning September 7th, into mid-October. Click here for hours and directions, and here for the full list of what we have available now for on-site shopping. If Saturdays don't work, you may also schedule an appointment. Mail-order is back! We have been adding more plants to our availability list, and can hopefully recover our former selection before too long. Fall is a great time for shipping and planting! Sadly, there will be no Grevilleas of any kind available until summer 2025. This comment is prompted by numerous inquiries. We appreciate your interest!

Welcome to THE DESERT NORTHWEST!

"It is hard for people to accept the idea that a garden does not have to be watered."
- Robert Nold, High and Dry

We are a specialty nursery located in Sequim, Washington, dedicated to the production and promotion of noteworthy water-wise plants! Here you can find a wide range of interesting and hard to find treasures, such as cold-hardy desert plants, plants from the Southern Hemisphere, Mediterranean plants, dryland native plants, and more. Founded in 2005, Our aim is to show Northwest gardeners how to make plant selections that require little or no summer water once established. We specialize in mail-order, as many of our plants also offer excellent performance, or potential, outside the Pacific Northwest! We propagate and produce all of our own stock here at our nursery in beautiful Clallam County, Washington, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We also offer seed of some plants.

Our web site is also intended as an informative resource for those who wish to learn how to grow various kinds of unusual plants, especially xeric plants and others adapted to our summer-dry climate. Please enjoy the photo galleries, blog, and plant articles on the site! We hope you learn something interesting while browsing through our pages, whether it be about rare plants, gardening, or our climate.
