We purchased a soil testing kit which is yet to be determined on what our results are but once we get a chance we will utilize it and see what needs to be done. We have been here several times in the past and always liked their plant selection and statuary and other ornaments you can use for your yard. They have some very nice windchimes in which we want to get sometime... ones with a deep resonating sound and they do have ones here that look to be of good quality! I don't know if they still do it and I am thinking if memory serves you can chicks here in the Spring. Super cute little chickens! We'd love to have some but aren't quite ready to take on more pets but perhaps someday!

The staff are really helpful with questions and seem knowledgeable, but also let you wander around unaccosted. The plants look really healthy and are locally grown I'm told. Prices are a little higher than the big box stores but here you get quality and customer service.

I heard about this place from two friends who were at Great Wolf Lodge and needing to escape a…read morechild's birthday party (we've all been there). Rather than head South for an "outlet mall experience," they opted to head North to the bustling metropolis of Rochester, WA. I've now been to 3 different towns called Rochester, and while they are all so fantastically underwhelming, the other two don't have a carnivorous nursery..... and this was compelling enough to make the hour and a half trek from Portland. This retail experience is unique, as the greenhouse is in the proprietor's back yard. It's his life's work and passion, which yielded some refreshingly different conversations than talking to hourly employees who may not be as knowledgeable or vested. Whether he was happy to or kindly obliging, the owner geeked out with us over plants for over an hour, and for how much he knows, there was no shred of the pretension that can sometimes be prevalent among the horticulture folks, for whatever reason (why is that?!?). In addition to having a huge and impressive collection of sarracenias, the owner of the nursery also had a cool and compelling story about his journey to owning his own nursery, which entailed being a combat medic and after getting out of the military, discovering a passion for carnivorous plants and pursuing and achieving a degree in horticulture. So, if you're into supporting veteran-owned businesses.... here's your chance. Do it. A few words of advice: -It's currently a one-man show, so you MUST make an appointment, which you can do by calling or texting the number on the website. The owner was responsive and communicative. -Some of the plants are outside, so if you visit during the rainy season, dress accordingly. #dontforgetboots

Just wanted to share my experience with West Coast Carnivorous Nursery down in Rochester. Kyle is…read moreso awesome. He's super friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about carnivorous plants. This is my first one so I really didn't have much knowledge about them. You can tell he just loves what he does and he takes great care of these babies. He has a great selection with great prices. He also offers a guarantee for his plants if you think your baby is dying. I left knowing a lot more than when I arrived. If you guys are in the area and want to buy a carnivorous plant, y'all should definitely check him out! Came there for butterworts and left with : King Sundew (I got the baby one) I just fell in love with all the little dews!

That's impressive and we couldn't have done it without her! This place is clean, friendly and has knowledgeable staff. You can't go wrong! Thank you Katie!

So when Steve and I were discussing where he wanted to get flowers I suggested this place and we proceeded to go there. It's a great Nursery with so many kinds of flowers and trees to look at and see what would work best for your home. In the end we purchased some flowers and they look so good in the backyard! A much needed splash of color to have back there which we needed. We will look into the trees at a later time for sure as we have been wanting a Japanese Maple tree and they had the kind that we liked. All in all a nice visit and I am embarrassed that it has took this long to pay a visit but better late than never.

I park in the church parking lot and just ask someone to steer me in the right direction. Basically you are buying direct from the grower (David) who offers expert advice and reasonable prices. Quantity discounts are available. To me the primary advantage of buying my plants here is they are in great shape and not stressed or damaged like so many plants you find at the larger stores. David offers a host of grasses and native plants to choose from. So bring your mud shoes and take a walk through all the greenhouses. You are bound to learn a thing or two and may even walk away with some plants too!
