One of the most joyful nurseries in the state! The first time I dropped in here I was almost…read moresaddened that I had a garden full of flowering shrubs from the world over. If I were starting from scratch it'd be 100% native plants! But I got over it, and obtained many of my favorite perennials and shrubs from Woodbrook. I'd been looking for an Indian Plum for ages and regular nurseries just never had them. Among other things from Woodbrook, I got two tall young Indian Plums, a male and female, planted them on the property edge beyond the watering point, and what lovely giant shrubs or small trees they've become, with gorgeous decorative berries that look just like dollhouse plums, dangling clusters of little white flowers, and lovely autumn leaf colors -- grand in every season. The wee plums were harvested as food by native peoples but are toxic until ripe and kinda nasty tasting even when ripe enough to eat, so they're left to encourage birds. And I've gotten smaller things galore, mostly plants that need exceedingly little attention given that they are largely specific to our environment.

She gave me care instructions for the next few years. Then Dana gave me some super helpful info on the gorgeous posters inside, and how to find some potentially free ones from the NW forest service. They've each been here for decades and their devotion to native plants is seen in their selection and handouts. My native thimbleberry was only 12 dollars-- what a great price! I learned a lot as well. Best part is the sweet little formerly-feral, currently-cuddly free roaming kitty. She enjoyed some pets while we waited out the rain on the porch. Thanks, yall

WARNING!!! When I first arrived I walked into The Barn a…read morenursery nextdoor to the Tenino-- Old Highway 99 location . The man behind the counter was complaining to a coworker because the soil he received from Walrath wasn't what he ordered and he was worried it would contaminate his garden with chemicals. I should have heeded overhearing his warning! THEN, when I asked about bindweed the sales associate said "Oh yeah that soil", pointing to a large pile of fill, "is full of bindweed, we're practically dumping it on people." Ordered 13 cubic yards of Silver Springs compost because it is certified to be fully composted. I didn't order it blended with their top soil as they suggested to prevent contamination. When the delivery truck dumped a whole truck load of fill dirt instead of the compost i ordered I called them immediately. Had i not corrected them they would have left me with the topsoil. So yes they then brought me the compost I ordered and left the huge pile of dumped soil "for free". As the dumped topsoil began to wash down with the rain it is completely full of garbage, Im talking tons of plastic and broken glass. If I was associated with Silver Springs i would be concerned this practice could tarnish their name as well! On the phone they said they don't think theres anything they can do. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I am beyond disappointed with Purdy Topsoil & Gravel; They…read morecame highly recommended and so I placed a call and explained I needed good soil for my raised beds vegetable gardens, what do you have/recommend? I was told that with tax, a yard of their very good garden soil would be approximately $29. Ok, I will be in next week. After arriving and talking with staff, the clerk said to me that this is for flower beds, correct? No, it is for food for my family fir vegetables. She then told me that the soil I was going to purchase would not support food growth... I was then told: "We have our compost blend and we also mix our compost with steer manure compost and fish compost and it is twice the price." I then decided to buy two yards. The next morning I was surprised to find that my son had filled my garden beds for me, but there is all kinds if 'stuff' in the dirt! I easily gathered a 1/2 baggie of pieces of plastic in clear, white, blue, black, red, another blue,... along with pieces of painted metal i. Blue, red, black, green, dark blue, bright blue, white, etc... -along with treated 'Beauty Bark'... I took the baggie half filled with the debris and my receipt... The Manager was not in and would call- and THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME BACK MY RECEIPT! They also kept the baggie, which I wanted them to see as unfortunately I can easily gather more. I was then informed by the two women working behind the counter that they get their compost from the Pierce County Dump! Excuse Me?! When an employee informs me that WE make OUR with premium compost, OUR steer manure compost, and OUR fish compost; I don not get the impression that you receive it from the Pierce County Landfill!!?? I specifically asked and was given an answer of: WE make OUR with OUR WE MAKE... Had I been properly informed of the compost origins, I would absolutely NOT have purchased ANY product originating from ANY Landfill project. Today marks two weeks since I drove there again, and asked to speak to the Manager. I called yet again today, Monday June 10, 2024 and wouldn't ya know, the manager just stepped out and will call me back. At this point, I can only recommend NEVER DOING BUSINESS WITH PURDY TOPSOIL GRAVEL! Sincerely, Kimberly Kelly Lehman
