Our Greenhouse/Nursery Program grows annually 12,000 native seedlings. The current inventory is 26,000 Western Washington native plants. We also provide non-native annuals and perennials for King County parks sites. In 2002 we began providing native plants to other city and government agencies for habitat restoration projects. The facility is housed on approx. 5 acres, 4 acres is nursery, with 2 commercial greenhouses, 2 shade house and a covered exterior potting shed.

Our native nursery stock is used throughout King County Park System for stream restoration, reforestation and re-vegetation of our natural areas. Community service groups and individuals volunteer time at the Nursery. They transplant seedlings. The containers are held over in the nursery until orders are submitted. Our inventory includes year old seedlings to larger material, up to four years old.
