Hardy perennials, organically grown.

Welcome to the world of the plant enthusiast.
I'm a plant wisperer for certain...I have honed in on some of my favorites to offer up for sale...


We carry a large selection of Hosta's, shade plants and many hard to find plants like
 carnivorous plants, Beesia,
 Impatiens omeana, hardy begonias, petasites japonicus, Rosa complicata, Rosa apothecary, York and Lancaster, Sissinghurst castle and more.
Also Japanese Maples, Dogwood shrubs with gold leaves and green and white variegated.
Northwest Natives include groundcover strawberry, Salal, sword ferns,
Trillium ovatum, fringecup, Crabapple, coltsfoot, monkeyflower and more.
I make my own soils, compost onsite, use only organic fertilizers and zero pesticides. All plants are openly grown outdoors year round. No forcing of growth or flowers.
These are very hardy reliable plants. You can be certain.
I'm a beekeeper, so I'm a very strict organic natural grower.

Wildlife Friendly Gardening for Natural Pest Control

Saturday, April 11th from 11 am to 1 pm 
Village Green Perennial Nursery
10223 26th Ave. SW
Seattle, WA 98146
 Join the Garden Hotline and Village Green Perennial Nursery for a workshop on Wildlife Friendly Gardening for Natural Pest Control!  $20 person
The beauty of songbirds, butterflies, and beneficial insects is ample reason to create a wildlife-friendly garden, but there’s so much more to the picture!  When you provide good habitat for birds and beneficial insects, they will in turn provide you with natural pest and weed control, increasing your garden’s health while decreasing your maintenance time. This workshop will teach you about the plants and design techniques that attract these delightful creatures to visit and live in your garden. We will also cover problematic wildlife and how to manage them in the garden. A Village Green Perennial Nursery garden tour and a chance to pick up some great wildlife friendly plants to take home for your own garden is included. Informational brochures will be available.

The Garden Hotline is managed by Seattle Tilth and sponsored by Seattle Public Utilities, the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program in King County, the Saving Water Partnership and Cascade Water Alliance and the RainWise program of Seattle and King County.
