Talk about an oasis just a short distance from home! Love love love this place! You just have to check it out yourself. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the place is HUGE! Put this place on your list of places to visit this Summer. And don't forget to check out the inside plants that they have now. Lots of succulents, snake, and vining plants. Very peaceful!

Was just there an hour ago and bought a Gunnera labeled as "dinosaur food" implying like the manicata plants we see at the zoo and wapato park,only to get home to see its tinctoria in the the small print😑. I dislike when nurseries do things like this,for example being ambiguous labeling tarragon plants letting people assume they're buying french tarragon when it's actually the weedy inferior russian variety.

Very large nursery with a decent selection. I originally went to look at fruit trees and was happy to see they have grafted 5 in 1 for Asian pears and apples in addition to single type. We were also looking for very specific blueberry bushes that they had in stock too. This is a great go to nursery if your in the area. I also love all of the garden accessories they had, so useful and cute!

Nice nursery with lots of variety. Including unique plants that are not available at Big Box stores. Pricing not bad considering quality level. They have wagons to put plants on while strolling the lot. Also, they offer umbrellas to use while shopping.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does Port. Ave. Nurs. have ligularia (any of the green-leaf kind) in stock?

Sherri Stern | Aug 11, 2022
Cat Mihelic | Aug 12, 2022

With it being prime planting season they are going through stock quickly. If they had it a week ago it us highly likely they don't have it today. If you call them and they do have it they will hold it. Also I'd they don't have it and are planning on getting some in, they will put you on a call list so you'll know when it is in.

Morgan Arch | Aug 11, 2022
Cat Mihelic | Aug 12, 2022

Depends on what you define as a house plant. If you're looking for orchards, syngonium's or spider plants or similar, not that I've ever seen. But I've seen hibiscus and other semi tropical plants. Depends on exactly what you're looking for
