Woods Creek Wholesale Nursery

This is a great nursery to load up on plants, definitely worth the drive from Seattle if you have a good sized project. Their prices are much better than the retail places around the area, just don’t expect an espresso stand, air plants in glass containers, or classes on how to grow organic asparagus! This is a wholesale nursery and they grow their own plants. They have a good selection of shrubs, ground covers, ornamental grasses, Japanese maples, and other trees. The owner is very knowledgeable and will help you out if you have an idea of what you want, just keep in mind she runs the place and is usually multitasking (on radio with staff, cell with customers, and riding around on a cart finding plants for people). Also, I was prepared to rent a truck, but she helped load my small two door car with more plants than I thought would fit in a pickup. It was like plant Tetris, and they made it home fine.

I came to Woods Creek for the first time on a quiet Sunday and was immediately helped by Gretchen, who expertly showed me around for more than an hour. She advised me about the kind and number of perennials that would work for my garden’s situation. I was prepared with pictures of plants, shrubs & trees that I would like – and that had worked for me in the past. She carefully listened & put together a garden plan – including practical advice for dealing with my large dog. It was obvious this was a real «working» nursery — not all flash & showy. Very down to earth. Excellent selection, combined with excellent service. Ironically, I didn’t leave with the Japanese Maple I intended to buy – but that’s because many of the small er specimens were already sold. These people, including the owner, Sharon, really know their stuff. It was well worth the trip from Mukilteo.

Perhaps I am just a suburban idiot. I was lured to the location by the promise of wholesale prices for japanese maples. Home Depot has red laceleaf japanese maples that are 3 – 5 feet tall that are $ 129. These same trees are $ 500 or more at the wholesale nursery. I called to try to get a price range and was given a vague answer about the age of the tree dictating the prices. I met the owner when I went out there. She was super nice. But it would be nice if the website had pricing for trees on a sample basis to get a reference. Like I said — it’s probably me. But the pricing was vague and much more than I expected. It would have saved 2 hours of time driving to Monroe and back.

Stopped by here ‘big tree shopping’ on a slow weekday. Was warmly greeted by a lady – little did I know it was the owner herself – she spent probably a bit over 1 hour walking us through her nursery, even driving us around in a golf cart. There was never any perceived pressure to buy, and the collection of plants including their Japanese Maples were amazing. They have numerous beautiful, large, impressive specimens – we ended up buying a +15ft Japanese maple that must have been 30+ yrs old.
Couldn’t be any more happy in the way it turned out, and can’t recommend this nursery highly enough!

This is a wonderful wonderful nursery! The nursery is very big and has a great selection of locally grown plants at wonderful prices.
Sharon (the owner) is very helpful, she is very knowledgeable with all her plants and if you go during the week and even schedule some time with her ahead of time she will take you around and show you all the plants that may be best for your project. I shared with her my ideas and even provided her a picture and diagram of my yard and she was able to understand my needs, show me all the plants that would work for my yard and even gave me some ideas on the design (how and where to plant them).
I’ve even sent her emails with questions and she responds immediately. She has been extremely helpful and is genuinely interested in providing you the best plant for your project/​yard. She is not like other places that are just interested on the sale and then don’t provide support. Take the ride to the nursery, it will be worth every second of your time!

I don’t know if the reviews below are fake or not, but I do know Sharon is no fake. She knows her firs from her birches.
I emailed a few nurseries in the area with a long list of items I needed and Sharon was the only one that did not keep me waiting. This is huge, because now I could plan my week and projects. Sharon was also willing to come in on her day off to accommodate my schedule. Again, huge ’cause we were making the trip from Lake Chelan for this project.
Sharon tripped us out ’cause she suddenly started speaking fluent spanish to one of her staff. We were pretty stoked about this and our relationship changed after this.
Her knowledge is incredible too. I’m yet to find someone so damn knowledgeable about their product no matter what line of product or business.
There was a few items we had to replace and she had replacements and also educated us on such items that would not do well in Lake Chelan’s extreme weather and some toxic plants that would not do well with dogs and children. Sharon is not only personable, charismatic, but a great source of knowledge – take advantage of it!
I highly recommend Woods Creek, mostly due to Sharon, but I do have to say her product is solid and huge. She has to use a golf cart to get around.
She’s wholesale so she has the lowest prices and also grows everything including the plants and trees you will find in nearby nurseries.
I’ve been here twice and know I’ll be back. Don’ t come here looking for pretty flowers, this is more of a flowering shrubs, plants and trees.
