We all come from different backgrounds, but the one thing we all have in common is our love for creating beauty through the craft of landscape design, plant knowledge and helping people bring the garden home. Allan and Mike make up the landscaping crew. With their vision and expertise, Vision Landscape is one of finest water feature experts on the Olympic Peninsula.

Claire, Amber, Sally, Ian, and Parker, work in concert at the ever popular Vision Nursery.
Opened in 2000, it is a favorite shopping point for locals and visitors.
 All are welcome to view the spectacular water features, seasonal displays, shop in the enchanting garden nursery, pick up a hard to find perennial, or just stroll through our beautiful landscaped nursery.

 

Allan Bernards

 

I moved to the Peninsula in 1985 from McMinnville, Oregon. With a love of gardening and landscapes I started Vision Landscape in 1989 with focus on design and installation. Seeing the need for a botanical garden based nursery, I decided to start Vision Landscape Nursery in 2000. My dream was to give people a place to relax while being surrounded by different garden displays and water features.

 

Claire Bernards

 

 Claire was an elementary school teacher until she met her sweetheart, Allan in 1998. He shared with her his dream to start a nursery, that would complement his successful landscaping business. Claire, being an enthusiastic gardener thought this sounded pretty fabulous. She decided to retire from teaching to open up Vision Nursery in 2000. Through her personal experience with plants and her research abilities, she learned (and continues to learn) so much about flowers, plants, trees, shrubs, and the people who love them. She is a big animal lover and dedicates many events and dollars to support local animal welfare groups on the Olympic Peninsula. Claire invites you to please look into supporting: Peninsula Friends of the Animals, Welfare for Animals Guild, Clallam County Humane Society, and the Raptor Center.

 

Amber Blume

 

 

 

  

Amber is going into her 4th year at Vision Nursery. She really enjoys working with plants and has learned a lot over the years. When she's not working she spends her time backpacking in the Olympics, traveling, being with her friends and family and of course her dogs. At the nursery Amber excels at putting together seasonal containers, plant displays and making moss hanging baskets.

Parker

 

I joined the Vision Nursery team in the fall of 2005.  I pretty much keep things looking great around here whether it is the nursery or in the display gardens.  I’m the man when it comes to potting up perennials, trees and shrubs.  The agriculture and horticulture classes in high school got me interested in pursuing this kind of work.  Being outside, along with the physical work is a definite benefit to working at Vision Nursery.  My interests are listening to good music, helping bands out by promoting them, caring for and riding horses, and writing poems and stories.  Someday I would like to visit Japan.

 
Sally Knight Sally joined Vision in April of 2006.  Originally from the east coast, she immediately fell in love with western Washington’s exuberance for gardening, even in winter.  Her love for design and beauty in landscaping complement a long and varied association with professional theatre.  Currently, Sally is developing the new and expanding wholesale department at Vision, which includes the latest and greatest inventory located in the newly constructed green house.  Sally loves walking the woods trails, cycling the islands, collecting plants, and fishing the streams.  She also enjoys fine craftsmanship and visiting prominent regional Japanese gardens.
Mike Gray Mike Gray relocated to the Sequim area from the high desert of California in 2006. Retiring from work that used every brain cell to triathlon levels, he is now working that creative right side in concert with the problem-solving ability and basic brilliance he brings to all situations. Mike has a great sense of humor and an uplifting presence. All the water features he works on seem to sparkle just a little bit more when he's done with them.  
Ian Barclay I relocated with my family to Sequim in the spring of 2008.  I have a B.S. in Ornamental Horticulture from Washington State University and years of experience in the horticultural field.  I have been an avid gardener and plant collector since high school, and now I specialize in xeriscaping and low maintenance garden design.  I enjoy traveling to observe, photograph, and learn about plants from other parts of the world.  In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, eating pizza, and hanging out with my family.  Right now I am working on writing a book about some of my favorite plants.
