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.

Breath taking view! Am I correct in seeing no sidewalk? The only access point is by the mailbox? (I wish you had added a photo of the "before" view, from the time you had just purchased the house. I'm certain it's unrecognizable).

Correct, the only access from the front is by the mailbox. There is a side entrance from the driveway. If I did it over again, I would have liked to move the main entrance down a little toward the middle and made a curving path to the front door instead of the straight path that is there now. I will rustle up an old photo.
DeleteBeautiful shots, Phillip! The lighting was perfect.
ReplyDeleteWow! I found myself saying "Oh my gosh" out loud when I saw the first picture. Amazing colors, textures and varying heights. Just right! It is truly beautiful. Your neighbors are lucky ducks.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor who lives across the street must have one of the best views in town. I'd sit outside in the street with a cup of coffee every morning enjoying your garden instead of my own!
