About Our Plants

If it’s a Washington native plant, we either grow it on site or have access to it through our network of local speciality nurseries we’ve worked with for over 20 years. It is this informal network of growers, who more importantly are our friends, allow Ian to provide competitive prices for your plant list in a one-stop shop environment with an option of pick-up or delivery. Bids for on-site installation are also available via the fax number. Site plans, number and size of plant info will enable Ian to provide you with a prompt reply to your plant and/or installation requirements. Also, depending on availability of our delivery truck, pickup and delivery of your plant material can be negotiated on an individual basis. Feel free to call, fax or e-mail for quotes.

Bush’s Nursery offers Northwest native plants that:

• Are grown locally from Northwest seed or cutting sources—never collected from woodlands, which can be damaging to the environment;
• Offer survival rates better than non-native plants;
• Include a large variety of ground covers, shrubs and trees;
• Come in 4″, 1-, 2, 5- or 15-gallon pots (large trees are field-grown balled and burlaped); and
• Have enough root mass to be planted any time of the year.

Why Plant Native Plants?

Northwest native plants offer many benefits to both growers and the environment. In addition to their beauty and hardiness, native plants:

• Require less “attention” than non-native species;
• Provide food for wildlife through their fruits, seeds and flowers;
• Provide shelter and protection for wildlife with their thick, hardy foliage;
• Protect streams with their foliage, enhancing the survival of endangered fish and other aquatic life;
• Provide nutrition to streams for survival of smaller aquatics that are food for larger fish; and
• Prevent erosion by binding the soil and stemming severe run-off.
