Patterson
Nursery Sales, Inc. was established in the spring of 1987 on 5 acres near
Boring, Oregon. It was a brokerage only at that time
and the primary goal was to sell absolutely the finest plant materials
available from Oregon with
exceptionable ‘hands on’ service. The development of the 5 acres as a
loading and staging area allowed Patterson Nursery Sales, Inc. the
ability to consolidate materials from multiple nurseries into one
shipment – this was very important.
As the
years passed, Patterson Nursery Sales, Inc. developed its niche as a
supplier of true specimen plants and landscape sized materials suitable for
high end projects. The 5 acres
became more crucial and more fully stocked with inventory. It became necessary to add and develop
additional acreage as it became available. The ‘yard’ as we call it,
grew to 30 + acres consisting of the office, loading and staging areas,
greenhouses, can yard, and Japanese Maples in the ground - and still very
full.
In 1997
Patterson Nursery Sales, Inc. purchased 100 acres in Eagle Creek just
about 10 minutes south from our ‘yard’. We began lining out materials that were
intregal to our annual sales. The
farm has grown to approximately 175 acres and we have developed it to
include loading and staging areas, greenhouses and can yard consistent to
the original facility.
Today,
twenty one springs later, we have grown to more than 200 acres in
production and 50 + employees yet the goal remains the same: to sell the absolutely finest material
available in Oregon with exceptional ‘hands on’ service. It seems to be an endless challenge and
we like it.
