Cutting back on plastic? Us too. If you don't want your plant tags, simply leave them in the pickup area and we will reuse them.
We can also provide your plants as bareroots; just let us know before pickup (though we recommend planting with our native-inoculated soil for more successful transplanting and establishing!).

We are a small backyard nursery and do not have a retail storefront for in-person browsing.
We often include photos of actual nursery plants in our listings.
Our inventory is accurate and is updated in real-time.
Plants currently out of stock but in production list their anticipated sale date in the Plant Characteristics section of the plant detail page.

Pot dimensions are displayed as width by depth in inches: for example, "Bandpot (4x6)" is a bandpot that is 4 inches wide and 6 inches deep.

Plants labeled “Hyperlocal – SNP Nursery Grounds” are propagated from naturally occurring native plants on our nursery property.
Every Skamania Native Plant is nursery-propagated, never dug from the wild.
We hand-collect or carefully source our seed, with respect and care for parent populations, and grow organically without peat, pesticides, or synthetics.
Each batch of soil we mix is imbued with beneficial native mycorrhizae: when we clean human-claimed areas like our driveway, gutters, and patios, we compost the collected needles, leaves, and cones along our forest edge where they decompose and intermingle with native fungi. This hyperlocal native inoculant forms more effective root partnerships than commercial products, improving drought tolerance, nutrient uptake, and long-term establishment in our Pacific Northwest soils.
Our plants grow outdoors year-round in an intact native forest setting at roughly 900 feet in the Cascade foothills, facing real seasons and weather that build resilience for Pacific Northwest gardens.
As a small backyard nursery, every plant gets individual attention.
Due to our natural setting, our pots often include native organic material such as mosses, lichens, fungi, or even volunteer native seedlings (yours to keep!).

Who we are

Hi 👋 We’re Kristine and Andrew, current caretakers of a small but special piece of unceded Cowlitz and Chinook land near the western edge of the Columbia Gorge in Skamania County, Washington, near Canyon Creek and Cape Horn.

What we do

We steward the property by removing invasive plants, protecting and restoring native plants, and enhancing biodiversity with even more native plants.

The habitat

The parcel consists of about 1 acre of 35 year old second growth which we are actively restoring, and over 2 acres of rich, mature 80+ year old forest which needs nothing but our protection from invasive species.

Preserving and sharing

Our forest is mostly intact, so we’re able to grow our own hyperlocal native plants from those growing wild here on the grounds.
