Time to celebrate! Spring is finally here!

And what better way to celebrate than with a yard full of blooming Rhododendrons and Azaleas!

The bulk of our selection is NOW available.

Few landscape shrubs are as widely celebrated and anticipated in the spring garden as azaleas and rhododendrons. Their showy, exuberant displays of color excite the senses and have a way of taking center stage in just about any landscape.

So what’s so special about azaleas and rhododendrons? The answer is simple, they are the epitome of spring. Their form, habit, and amazing colors easily dominate the spring landscape.

Camellias are an asset to any shady outdoor setting.

Fun Fact: Camellia flowers are often seen as a symbol of love, adoration, and longing. Sounds like a great gift for a loved one, right?

Another Fun Fact: Camellias are deer resistant.

Camellias are beautiful, glossy, evergreen shrubs that are known for their exquisite flowers and long bloom time. They thrive in moist, acidic, organically rich and well-drained soils and prefer full or dappled shade. This is a plant you'll definitely want to protect from direct hot sun. The flowers emerge in red, pink or white and resemble the shape of a rose or peony. There is even a variety called Camellia sinensis that is grown for its young leaves, which are used to make green, oolong, white and black tea.

We have a proper selection of gorgeous camellias that are just starting to boast their showy flowers. Come see for yourself.

Grow your OWN salad!

Growing your own salad greens will put a world of fresh ingredients at your fingertips. It is an easy way to save on grocery bills and enjoy months of homegrown organic produce.

Most salad greens are quick-growing and ready to harvest in just 4 to 6 weeks from seeding, and even faster from starts. The majority thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall, however there are also plenty of heat-tolerant greens for summer harvesting.

Just for fun, try adding herbs and edible flowers to your salad. It will go from basic to breathtaking and impress all your family and guests!

If you are thinking of growing your own salad, now is the time to plant!

Here are a few items other than lettuce to jazz up your homegrown salad and all are available right here at Garland Nursery!

This just in...Greenman Stone Ltd. statuary!

Greenman Stone Ltd. is a collaboration of artisans that have a combined 80 years in the statuary, sculpting, mold-making, and casting business. All Greenman Stone products are hand-made and antiqued right here in Leavenworth, Washington.

Who is Green Man?

The Green Man is an ancient guardian of the forest. He’s depicted as a man with green skin and covered completely in foliage of various types. He’s an ever-present symbol of rebirth, rejuvenation, and the life and death cycle of nature. His job is to keep the woods wild—to preserve the sanctity of the forest (plants, trees, rivers and animals) that are threatened by our modern advancements.

In modern times Green Man represents our connection to nature and reminds us of just how precious our relationship is to it.

Below are the four styles we have available.
