we delight in providing the seeds and plants for your
own delicious and productive gardens. For a free

are an easy exit off Oregon's I-5 and are closed
Sundays. See the Visit Nichols Page for a map and
hours. This year, Plant Day is Saturday, May 15.
Come and enjoy tours of our gardens and light
herbal refreshments.
Nichols Garden Nursery supports Plant A Row For
The Hungry. Rose Marie, recently designed a display
garden at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show to
promote public awareness of Plant-A-Row. The front
of the garden was bordered with straw bales planted
with salad greens. for information on straw bale
culture go here. PAR sponsored by Garden Writers
Association is designed to get surplus garden
produce into food banks and soup kitchens. We are
an official dropoff site for our local Linn-Benton
County Food Share. For more information please
click the plant-a-row logo on the side.
We're launching a new feature on our website
"Salad Of the Week". We offer the finest lettuces
and greens for four seasons. We know that fresh
salad greens are one of the great delights of the
gardener's table. We should remember that not only
do they taste good but they are good for us, offering
few calories, fiber and packed with nutrients. Our
salad days can keep us healthy because greens are
an excellent source of vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin
C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, manganese and
chromium. Our second recipe is an excellent Asian
Style Cole Slaw. Later, as we move through the
gardening year we will work with a variety of greens
including, kale, purslane, cresses and more.
We are proud to offer 'The Bountiful Container'
