My Garden Nursery has it!

We enjoy many things here in the Pacific Northwest that are near and dear to our hearts. And while most of us can relate to the struggle that is the blackberry vine, most of us can also agree there’s nothing better than a fresh picked blackberry!

September is World Alzheimer’s awareness month!

PURPLE is to Alzheimer’s what Pink is to Breast Cancer.
This is the reason we chose purple flamingos to put in front of our first store in Mill Creek when there was an Alzheimer’s fundraiser walk going by. The flamingos made people smile! Then people wanted to buy them.

In Bellingham we decided we wanted to be SUPER purple; so we painted the store and then our creative staff designed and built Filly-Mingo the huge flamingo in front of the store.

We have raised thousands of dollars for the Bellingham Alzheimer’s Society with our change jars and events and WE HOPE this month YOU WILL HELP us!

Next year we hope to open the &lsqu...

My dad was a Boeing engineer for 45 years. He is my Hero. He was a husband, father, & a grandpa. He was a magic gardener, penguin drawer and I was his little Jenny.

Dad started forgetting little things like words, names, or where he put things. He then progressed to not being able to write, getting lost and then one day he didn’t know who I was. I tried to live in the moment & to feel that at least he knew I was a person who cared about him & was trying to take care of him. I tried to believe that it wasn’t i...

Bill gave me a new garden center for Valentines day.

We signed papers on Friday the 13th so we feel it should be our goal to open on April Fools Days!

Our new location is in Bellingham on Bakerview Road at the old bakerview Nursery site.

We are super excited to bring fun and wonderful plants and people to the Bellingham community!

More details to come soon.

Hugs to you all!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for being so patient with us these long 16 months as we look for our new home.

Tomorrow, Tuesday the 17th of February we will begin our new jounrey in Bellingham!

I spent the weekend with our first Bellingham employee at our new site. You are going to love him!

All of our stuff from the Mill Creek store is already at our new location. We moved things around, organized, removed and sanded shelves and made a good dent in prepping the store for the next steps.

If all works out ok we plan to open April 1.

I'll be back soon to tell you it's a done deal!

Happy Spring

Bill and Jenny!

The last Kids Club was amazing. The kids made one painted rock to take home and one to give to Miss Jenny and Mr. Bill! It was so beautiful. The rocks said things like You ROCK!
