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, Amy and Kelly make up the landscaping crew. With their
vision and expertise, Vision Landscape is one of finest water feature
experts on the Olympic Peninsula.
Claire, Eli,
Kathryn, and Parker, work in concert at the ever popular
Vision Nursery. Opened in 2000, it has already become a
favorite shopping point for locals and international visitors.
All are welcome to view the
spectacular water features, seasonal displays, and garden art by local
artists. Pick up
a hard to find perennial, or just stroll through our beautiful landscaped
nursery.
Many of the
tourists that come to us liken our nursery to a boutique Butchart Gardens in
Victoria, BC.
We always have the electric kettle on for tea, which is best enjoyed while
swinging in the tea house looking at the waterfalls. We welcome you to
enjoy the beauty of nature as it is honorably displayed on our grounds.

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 was
an elementary school teacher in Kitsap County when 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 continues to learn so much about flowers, plants, trees,
shrubs, and the people who love them. Claire is a certified professional
horitculturist 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, as well as environmental and land preserve organizations.
Claire's suggestion: Please do not breed or buy while shelter animals die.
Older animals make great family members. Consider adopting an older animal
friend. |

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.
