Lael's Moon Garden is one of the most special nurseries in the Pacific Northwest. The gardens are…read morebeautifully designed and peaceful to walk through, and the plant selection is incredible. They carry an impressive collection of rare and unusual plants, including one of the best selections of Japanese maples I've seen anywhere. What makes this place stand out is that it's not just a nursery--it feels like a botanical garden you can explore. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly care about plants, soil health, and helping people find the right plants for their space. Every visit I discover something new. If you love gardens, rare plants, or Japanese maples, Lael's Moon Garden is absolutely worth the trip.

This is our go to place in Shelton for bulk landscaping materials like topsoil, compost, and bark,…read morethough mostly we buy bark which comes in several different sizes depending on the use. Fortunately, I have a small utility trailer I can load 3 cubic yards of material in because it's about 20 miles to our house. Last year we made at least 6 trips to Brady's and they were always friendly and courteous, even during the stress of Covid. But if you don't have a utility trailer they also deliver. Oh, I almost forgot, they also accept yard waste like tree trimming slash and other woody material. But there is a small disposal charge. We usually drop off a load of tree limbs and pick up a load of bark to make the entire trip worthwhile.

Really good services I love this place they are really fast on loading and not asking lot of…read morequestion like in other places

Flamingo willow or dappled willow). I searched for this kind of tree for a couple years, it is difficult to find so I was pleased to see they had a couple. I also bought a beautiful healthy Dick Clark rose. I found their prices to be competitive and fair.

I'm told that they will be having a Grand opening soon and will offer workshops and classes. They have a good selection, especially of "bare root" trees ( which they potted in big peat pots that can go right on the ground). When I looked at the fruit trees and figured the cost of pots, trees, and soil, it's a really good buy.

I've always liked this place. I think the no-nonsense name of the place is pretty on brand with…read morethe whole experience. It's very no frills, all outdoors, all about the plants, all super fair prices. If you want five sales people to be all in your face, or a sales person to "check on you" as if you are a child, this is not the place for you. It's like a plant lover introvert's heaven. You can just walk through outdoor greenhouse after greenhouse, and you are surrounded by all the plants. There is just SO much. There's maybe 20-40 of every plant, all on one grouping, so you can really peruse and get a good sense of the vibe of a given type of plant, if you are woo-woo like that, which I am. :-) There are signs to give you the essential facts of each plant, plus of course you can hop on the internet w/your cell phone and research more as you wish. There are sales people but they are few and far between which is just the way I want it. If I want help I can find someone, but mostly I want to peruse and make up my own mind. Once you know what you want you put it onto a dolly and bring it to the main building by the parking and entrance & you pay. Easy peasy. I'm sure if what you're getting was too big for you to get onto a dolly yourself they'd help. They have lots of trees and bigger things too. I heard ever since the pandemic this giant location has been open to both wholesale and retail customers, so you can disregard that ancient review saying this location was only wholesale. Now this giant location is their only location. (The photos from a yelper from 2019 are of the smaller location they no longer have.) The prices shown are wholesale but you just add 35% or whatever in your mind. The prices even with the retail markup are way cheaper than I've found in any other area nursery, which is probably he biggest reason I keep coming back. Also you can look up plant availability online on their website. Their list is not perfectly accurate or guaranteed, like they could have fewer of a plant than the list says, but it's a definite plus since I like to sit at home and research different plant varieties and plan. I don't know of any other area nursery that offers an online plant inventory list.

My friend and I were visiting nurseries today. She couldn't find one particular plant she has been…read moresearching for. This is how we discovered The Plant Place. How is it that I didn't know of this amazing nursery in Tumwater?! They not only had multiple of the specific plant my friend had been searching for, they have a massive selection! So many greenhouses...so many plants, trees, and bushes! We were helped by Erica who impressively knew where to find every plant in that massive place and had extensive knowledge. And now I have a new favorite nursery to introduce my friends to. Thank you Erica for your help! We both spent more than we had planned and we had a blast doing so!
