ABOUT THE NURSERY:
Oxbow’s Native Plant Nursery (NPN) is dedicated to growing Washington native plant species and encouraging the widespread use of natives in local landscapes, supporting the conservation of our region’s native plants, wildlife, and ecosystem.
Grown for Biodiversity
Approximately 95% of our plants are grown from seed, much of which is collected locally in the Snoqualmie Valley.
Grown Responsibly
Native plants heal our landscape, but we also strive to use growing practices that ensure the health of the land where the plants are grown too.
Grown for Resilience
We know that healthy, vigorous root systems are vital to a plant’s growing success – we consider ourselves primarily growers of root systems!
THE PARTICULARS:
