Everything is stickered at rock bottom prices.Whether shopping for plants or the @SkagitValleyFarmersMarket, look for directional signs that will lead you to the south parking lot for its location.Christianson's Nursery is open daily, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.#ChristiansonsNursery #ChristiansonsGranarySale #TheGranary #VintageSale #AntiqueSale #PandorasBox #ChristiansonsOnBest #ChristiansonsGarageSale #GarageSale

With this warm weather, everything seems to be blooming all at once. We have noticed that the roses in the Schoolhouse Rose Garden look the best they ever have, and the established perennials are spilling into the grassy pathways. Stepping into the garden you are met with a wave of fragrance while the colors and diversity of plants might just take your breath away.We would love to hear how your garden is growing. Is there a plant in bloom that you are particularly excited about? Let us know below! #christiansonsnursery #summergardening #whatsgrowinginyourgarden #digplantlove #timetogarden

Starting off this Wednesday with a bit of gardenin

Starting off this Wednesday with a bit of gardening inspiration from Toni and John’s home garden ✨ — Some if you may recognize the greenhouse in the background from “Moles End”, their 2002 display garden, at the @nwfgs. Most creations Toni and John have brought to life at the show are reused and repurposed in the Nursery or in their personal garden, and often working with salvaged materials, the historic and nostalgic nature of the buildings can be experienced while meandering the Nursery. While the Symphony Garden Tour was canceled this year, we are excited and hopeful to share that Toni and John’s garden will be on the tour next June (2022). They hope you will make it next year, pop in through the picket fence, find your way to the white garden, and say hello. We all know how much they love to chat with fellow historians and garden enthusiasts. #christiansonsnurseryandgreenhouse #whitegarden #toniandjohnchristianson #nwfgs #displaygarden #gardentours
