One Earth Botanical
It is always exciting to discover a new nursery, especially when so many are closing these days. A friend recently introduced me to One Earth Botanical. They are located at 24001 NE 28th Street in Camas, Washington and are open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10-3. This is a family-owned nursery specializing in perennials, shrubs and trees. I was impressed by their inventory and saw some plants that I didn't know existed, such as the red-blooming Cestrum called "Ruby Clusters" pictured at the top. Their prices are also awesome (most of the perennials I saw were $7 with larger sized pots around $12 - $15.) Stephanie gave us a tour of their 8-acre property which includes large display gardens, areas for weddings and other events and an in-the-works yurt which will be opened as a B&B. She says they have to deal with deer and she is knowlegeable about plants they don't like. In addition to all that, they also do beekeeping I need some of their energy! They are locate...
Good grief, even your lettuce is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I have grown that variety and I just picked it out of the blue off the table at the nursery. It is very pretty! I have not eaten any yet.
DeleteYou still have lots of rich color in your garden. I like the combos in the first few photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa!
DeleteGreat vignettes!
ReplyDeletePS - Quick question -- When do you sow your lettuce?
Aaron, seeds are sown here in February or March and in August for fall crops. I have become so frustrated with keeping up with seeds that I have come to the conclusion that buying plants is better for me. I planted these latest lettuce starts in late September.
DeleteI'm not normally a fan of the Aster, but your photo of the Aster 'Monte Cassino' is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVery nice color all around but the first two shots of purple blooms with gold foliage are glorious in their richness!
ReplyDeleteYour autumn photos took me breath away, just stunning!
ReplyDeleteGreat autumn colors! The purple and gold images are gorgeous, and I really like the Candy Lily, which I was not familiar with. Happy fall!
ReplyDeleteI am FINALLY figuring out how to follow blogs better (slowly, gradually). Your photography is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat lettuce is as pretty as any flower. I just discovered that there are golden Mugo pines so it's exciting to see one.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! That salvia + mugo pine combo especially sings to me.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful, but those first couple of photos with blue and gold really do set the stage.
ReplyDeleteRozanne and Amsonia make a beautiful combination!
