They are a bit on the spendy side, however, their customer service is unmatched. They have an incredible selection (especially right now coming into spring). They have an option for bareroot plants, too, which is a bit more affordable. I wish they'd consider adding a military discount.Absolutely recommend visiting here.

Horrible or shall I say absolutely no customer service at all and woman at cash register needs to take a chill pill! Never been treated so rudely ever. Will not give them our business again!

While visiting family, I was treated to a visit to this whimsical garden center in Vernon. The buildings that serve as greenhouses are stocked with a large variety of plants representing the temperate, subtropical, and tropical climes. Dry goods, gardener accessories, and gifts for the plant nerds in your life are plentiful. I most appreciated the healthiness of the plant stock as I find focused plant maintenance and the proper watering to be crucial to a garden centers' success. Frankly, I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Such a cool nursery. The variety and selection is huge. The buildings are really cool and old. I live the animals and the old school house.

Christianson's Nursery always has a great selection of plants, very helpful staff, and cute gift shop. Its just a pleasure to stroll through the grounds and admire the obvious care and energy to create such a great nursery. They also have beautiful facilities to host events!

Christianson's Nursery was the go-to nursery for plant items out of the norm or on our way to/from my grandparents house in Oak Harbor growing up. It is still a nursery we stop by occasionally, however not as much as we used to in part because we do not make the drive as frequently as we used to. If stopping in the morning, my parents would try and align the time we left the house so that we would be to Christianson's right around opening time. If we made it at that time, open parking spots were not too difficult to find. Each of my family members, my mom, my dad, my older sister, and I all had different things we liked to look at. Typically it was mom and dad making the purchases, so I had fun with the cardboard trays/box bottoms and would walk around and pick up flower blooms that had fallen to the floor and put them in the box. Items of interest to me personally were fruit and vegetable starter plants as well as seeds. My parents let me be in charge of a small patch in the backyard for a few years, which I dedicated primarily to vegetables. I had fun looking at the relevant selection of vegetable garden items. I also greatly enjoyed the farm animals we could observe relatively up close. My sister and I would have fun running away from that one chicken coming pecking after us... Since we had pets growing up and liked animals, my parents were also appreciative of the distraction for my sister and I if they were taking longer than anticipated.

What an amazingly supportive knowledgeable staff.The owner is there not afraid to get his hands dirty and from what I can figure out it is a family operation where everyone gets along. I wish much success to such kind people.P.S. Their roses are incredible

I was in search of a David Austin Rose named 'Abraham Darby". My rose died after 25 years of amazing blooms and I wanted to replace it. This was the only plant I dug up from my Seattle home of 25 years in 2015 when I moved because it meant so much to me. When I realized that it had died by the spring of 2022, I knew I would start calling other nurseries to locate one in late winter of 2022. Christianson's was the only nursery that could provide it. I live in Birch Bay( about 45 minutes north of Bellingham, WA) and it is over a 2 hour drive down and back. I purchased it in Jan of 2023 and pick it up in Feb. at a cost of $50 + tax. I had purchased my first rose from Swanson's Nursery in Seattle but at that time it was already in bloom so I knew exactly what I was buying. When I realized that a mistake was made and I received a different rose(even thought the tag said Abraham Darby). I called Christianson's and told them how disappointed I was. The woman on the other end of the phone said "yes it can be marked wrong sometimes". I thought perhaps they might mention that when I was ordering the rose and I might not have gone through with the order. She told me I would have to dig up the rose and bring it back to get my refund. I thought it is mid July and hot out and this would stress the rose and I also am struggling with physical issues and was not about to dig it up and drive down and back. I sent photo's via their FB page of the rose I got compared to my beloved rose I had for 25 years. I said I was not willing to return it and would like a refund. I owned and operated my own Landscape and Design Biz in Seattle for over 25 years and sometimes to please your clients and do what is best for them. A small loss is better than an unhappy client. I then received a phone call from a man, he did not identify himself but I assumed he was in charge or even the owner of the nursery...couldn't be sure. He told me their policy and I said I was not willing to do this and I was not up for the stress of physically digging it up and driving it down. I mentioned I was 70 and he said" oh a young 70" and I thought this person knows nothing about me. Then he proceeded to ask me if I was special. I said what does that mean and he said you seem that way since you won't return the rose and still want the refund. A mistake was made on their part. And through out this conversation his voice was getting louder and I believe he was trying to intimidate me. At this point I just hung up the phone. I'm going to wait until the fall and have my neighbor come and get the rose so she can replant it at an appropriate time of year.

Christianson's might be my favorite nursery. They have a huge selection of plants, reasonable prices, and beautiful scenery all around.

It takes me about 2.5 hrs to get there but its worth the trip! I try to go at least once a year. There is sooo much variety for indoor/ outdoor plants, supplies, pots, pond plants veggies etc. They even stock white lavender and that’s hard to find!! The customer service is top notch. Because I drive so far, I usually call to see if they have what I’m looking for and every time, the communication is amazing and so helpful! They even set aside the plants for me so I don’t make a wasted trip. The gardens are beautiful and make a nice place to rest, especially if you made quite a drive. Thanks for being such a friendly, informative and well stocked nursery!!

Christianson's nursery is absolutely beautiful just to walk around the grounds! They have a huge selection of plants and flowers and seeds. They have everything you need. They also have a beautiful gift shop. A trip to Christensen's brightens any day !

You can always depend on getting great product and the selection is fantastic. The customer experience for the independent shopper is lovely-- wandering through the different greenhouses and outdoor lots. You also can expect that staff will be rude. This will happen if you spend any length of time, need a question answered, or are looking for something specific. There is always someone there being rude each time I go, and I go back fewer times each year. Manage your expectations to a low service level and you will be fine.

This is the biggest nursery I have ever visited. Wow! I think they had 3-4 greenhouses just for roses! It was so fun to look through all the plants and garden supplies they had. If you are into gardening, you can spend hours here just to browse casually.

Yes a nice nursery with a huge selection of plants, etc BUT WAY overpriced. If money is not a problem for you then this is the place to go. Not really affordable for the average person.
