The new
2009 Colvos Creek Nursery Catalog
is ready!
Check out the Mike Lee Plant Blog for thoughts and comments about suitable plants and cultivation requirements for northwest gardens. Interested plant lovers always welcome.
We at Colvos Creek grow plants and create gardens for the special climate of the Pacific Northwest. While mild temperatures allow us to draw from the entire temperate flora and beyond, our dry summers have lead us to feature native plants and compatible drought-tolerant species from similar climates around the world.
But gardens, and the plants in them, should be not only suited to the climate, accomodating to the owner's needs and easy to maintain, but surprising and beautiful throughout the year. Our large and diverse plant list reflects this belief, and so do our gardens. With our plants, landscape designs and information we want to add to the enjoyment of gardens everywhere.
Many of our popular plant selections are also sold at the Vashon Country Store and Gardens located on the Vashon Highway, just south of downtown Vashon.
Besides the nursery and landscape design, we offer writing and illustration services as well as slide lectures on the topics of plants and gardens.
Mike Lee is a registered landscape architect with 30 years experience. He has also illustrated a series of posters on trees and has illustrated books and articles. His writing has appeared in several publications such as Fine Gardening and Pacific Horticulture.
The poster series is available through Good Nature Publishing.
