10 Best Burien Nurseries

Adam Doppelt - My family loves Swansons and we go there several times a year. They put on a great show for the kids. Before Halloween we bring the kids for the little hay maze. During the holidays we visit for Curly the camel, the reindeer, Santa, and the train set. It has a special place in our family history due to all the photos we've taken. Fun!

Laura - Fantastic professionals. I've come here with sad little plant leaves trying to diagnose what the heck is going on with my plants. The team is super helpful at figuring out the problem and giving me reasonable solutions. Don't forget their #askswanson Twitter hashtag so you can ask questions via Twitter.

Adam MacBeth - Hands down the best quality plants in Seattle. Very pleasant shopping experience. Appropriately priced!

Liz Pearce - Great selection of indoor & outdoor plants, friendly & helpful staff, and a sweet gift shop to boot.

Shannon Garbaccio - I love the City People's Garden store, but the Mercantile on Sand Point Way is our go to shop for so many things. They have gifts, toys, cards, kitchenware, beauty products, clothing hardware and plants. It has truly been our one stop shop for years.

Cassie Walker Johnson - City People's Mercantile on Sand Point Way offers everything you need for gifts, household supplies, hardware and most importantly - stocking stuffers! They have everything I need.

Steve Dossick - Just a great place to buy beautiful things for your garden, and super knowledgeable staff to answer questions about the plants and keeping them happy.

Lawrence Lerner - My favorite place to feed my addiction to buy indoor, outdoor plants, and garden decorating. They have a great plant AND specialty soil select. Soil bags come in multiple sizes for big and small projects.

When you can chase someone down, I find them more helpful than some of the other local nurseries.

Amy Pennington - Good for anyone on the north end. I find their delivered bulk products to be expensive, but if you're in a pinch, they are a good option. The store also has supplies for ponds/fountains if you have any built into your landscape.

Carly Canter - The staff are friendly and they offer a wide variety of plants and trees for both indoors and out! They even have a kitty that roams the greenhouses too!

Christina Nelson - A wide selection of every kind of plant you can think of. The Watson's team also hosts seasonal events, so take your family between Halloween and Christmas for fun free activities.

Rachel Wood - While I love the selection of plants carried at this nursery, their seasonal decor is what really sells this place for me. They host the most charming holiday events and have even had live reindeer during years past. If you're looking for something fun to do this holiday season, plan a girl's night to Watson's.

Brooklyn Benjestorf - Beautiful houseplants and super helpful staff.

Flora Ku - Super cute little plant shop. It's a bit on the pricier side, but I love to just roam and take pictures. It's close to my apartment and a great option if you don't have a car to get to other cheaper nurseries when you want a plant pick-me-up!

Valerie Madison - Our absolute favorite spot for picking up beautiful and interesting plants.

Deborah Alexander - Every time I visit Bainbridge (which is about 6 times a year as my beloved hair stylist and dentist are there), I always add a few extra hours of time to visit Bainbridge Island Gardens. Lovely indoor and outdoor plants (that are always happy and healthy), garden supplies and pots for my houseboat garden.

Holli Margell - A local gem of a shop full of indoor and outdoor plants, tools, soil, and helpful staff who can help you find something or make suggestions for your planting needs.

Stephanie Pederson - I love shopping at this nursery. The folks that works there are super knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. They even take the time to help my small kids find seeds to plant and teach them how to tend to the plants. And they even have baby chicks you can buy or just enjoy the cuteness of a visit!

Marston Gould - There are lots of great nurseries in the Seattle area, but Portland is the best for trees. If you are looking for something a bit more mature at a decent price, Portland is the place to go.
