Another Birthday,
another Sale!
Friday-Sunday, July 23-25
We will have lots of new plants, with everything marked down 30%. Grevilleas with gray foliage and red winter blooms; Platycodon, Liatris, Penstemon, Agapanthus and more in bloom; Fitzroya, a rare weeping blue conifer living 4000 years; Pinus patula, with brilliant green weeping foliage; Quercus dentata, with 12 in. scalloped leaves; eucalyptus; madronas; and hundreds more.
We'll have cake, of course, and prizes. Don't miss out!
Note that Colvos Creek Nursery has consolidated its retail sales at the Country Store location, 20211 Vashon Hwy. SW, about 1 mile south of town, near the corner of SW 204th St. We are no longer open at our original spot on Maury Island.
Hours are 9:30 - 5:00 Monday through Saturday, 12:00 - 3:00 on Sunday.
We are there in person on Saturdays, but you can shop from our nursery any time and simply pay the cashier in the store. Though our space is smaller, be assured that we will have a few of every plant we grow. We're adding new plants every week. You may call us any time with questions, 206.749.9508.
Do come by and see our new place. You'll also get to browse the Country Store's own plant department, with many trees, shrubs and perennials that we don't grow and an array of organic vegetable starts. They also have a store full of gardening supplies, clothing, books, gifts and more.
If you can't make it to the island, you may order by phone (206.749.9508) or contact us before a sale and take advantage of our Seattle will-call service.

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.
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.
