Description
Pacific Rim Native Plant Nursery is a family endeavor. The firm is owned by Patricia Woodward and Paige Woodward, one of her daughters. Another daughter, Dorrie Woodward, contributed photographs, energy and wisdom for a decade, but now divides her time between Canada and Mexico, where she has founded a bed-and-breakfast in La Manzanilla, on the west coast south of Puerto Vallarta.
We started out growing BC's native tiger lily, Lilium columbianum, for our own garden. But we kept noticing other wonderful native species ~ plants rarely mentioned in gardening books, yet perfectly adapted to local gardens. Not just red huckleberry and Nootka rose but native gentians, irises, lewisias, sedges and rushes, penstemons, geraniums, pussytoes, buckwheats, saxifrages, scads of other native lilies.
In 1995 we founded our nursery. To honor diversity, we grew almost everything from wild-collected seeds and cuttings. We grew hundreds of native species, but always in small quantities.
