Loen Nursery Garden Center

Great plant selection. I drive 30 minutes to get to this nursery even though there are others closer to me. The plants are healthy and they have so many varieties of everything!

Loen is a great nursery. I have been able to find some plants here that would have costed me an arm and a leg at other nurserys. They have a gigantic selection of plants to choose from. I always stop by when I hear they are having a sale. The staff is always friendly. They go out of their way to help.

After our neighbors mentioned this nursery I have been coming here for the last 3 years and always been treated very well.
Some customers may feel that they are quite expensive but their selection is extensive You are paying for convenience and selection. You do not have to settle from a small selection. Recently I was looking for a certain maple and visited a couple nurseries. Those nurseries did not carry this maple species so I stopped at Loen and there it was. .
From common fruit tree varieties to Persimmon trees, table and wine grapes, vines to herbs, evergreen and deciduous trees. Many trees and bushes are available is different sized which is great if you have a budget.
This retail location is not their only property. If you can not find what you’re looking for, Loen probably has it at there other location mostly used by landscapers. They also have a Willamette Valley growing facility so all the plants always grew well in my yard.
If you are not particular, the ‘Good Deal’ section is worth checking out. Finding a $ 30 tree that was originally close to $ 200 is worth hunt. This section is always changing.

I found this place years ago and have been returning for their bargains ever since. If you want a HUGE tree at an amazing price this is THE place. It’s just crazy the selection they have. The staff are really knowledgeable. I’ve found Arturo to be incredibly helpful in selecting plants that will fit into my landscape scheme. They have an amazing Labor Day sale every year too. I think people who are disappointed are expecting a Home Depot type experience. These guys are the real deal. You get huge specimen plants that will transform your yard. Yes, I love Al’s too, but the prices here are head and shoulders better.

What a dissapointing experience. This could have easily been a 4 start experience if it weren’t for my Living Social gift card that I had bought. A couple of months ago I got a Living Social email that told me I could pay $ 20 for a $ 40 «voucher» at Loen Nursery. I love a good deal so I bought one for myself and one for the hubby knowing that in the spring we would need to some serious gardening.
Come today after spending an hour picking out the perfect blue berry bushes (normally $ 20 but marked down to $ 10) when I was informed that they would have to charge me the full price for the bushes if I used my Living social ‘coupon’. They actually charged me $ 80 for 4 bushes (full price) to deplete the value of the voucher. I didn’t buy a coupon, I bought a voucher that entitled me to $ 40 worth of goods for $ 20. To boot, I came back home to read the ‘fine print’ and nothing about having to purchase full price items with this deal.
Biggest rip off of my life. At the end of the day, Willamette valley has a ton of nurseries. I suggest going to Al’s garden Center in Sherwood. The place is huge, it’s almost all paved with cement (vs. rocks at Loen) and 90% of this place is inside a greenhouse so you’ll stay dry. Prices are comparable and often times better than Loen.

Someday when I have my palatial estate, I will definitely consider coming here for my landscaping needs. For now, I have limited space so we come to dream and look for smaller plants.
This place is pretty vast, you may need to bring a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way out. My hands down favorite here were the hanging baskets. Absolutely gorgeous. Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses, they have a great selection! There are cute lawn and garden ornaments scattered throughout, for instance, I rounded one corner and came face to face with a grinning Buddha sculpture! The Japanese maple collection ranged from very young ones to the much older and pricier ones that I am not really sure how you would get home. In the state of trees, they do not disappoint with a large assortment that even includes fruit trees. (Am I the only one excited by this?)
If you come here and had slight sticker shock like I did, never fear, just steer yourself to the good selection of sale items just to the left of the entrance. Happy planting!

Well worth the drive, great deals on plants, pots and a better than average selection of statuary.

The Willamette Valley is home to many of the great plant nurseries of the world. We send those plants all over the world, and keep some too!
The source are wholesale nurseries who grow a myriad of plants in the field. That’s in dirt, not pots. A good source to find them is the web site of the Oregon Association of Nurseries and their wholesale plant locator:
. (This is especially great for finding native plants, or the super weird, which you should seriously think trice before planting outside its native environment)
The wholesale growers transplant their plants into pots or wrap the roots in burlap and send them to the garden centers. Loens is a wholesale grower, a «wholesale» outlet for professional landscapers and a retail outlet for home gardeners.
«Wholesale» is at 19 205 SW Cipole Rd; retail at 18 710 SW Pacific Drive, across the street and a short distance West, both Sherwood, OR 97 140.
The retail location is a giant version of Portland Nursery on Stark (and Division), but almost 100% plants, unlike Portland Nursery which has tools, irrigation, books, bulbs, and its encyclopedic advice desk! Loen retail does have savvy plant experts though.
The «wholesale» location is larger still, cheaper still too. It’s best experienced arriving in a pickup with your boots, sun hat or rain gear, gloves and dirty clothes. Park in the lot, check in at the office, drop the name of a landscape company that has an account there and pick up a map and price list running into dozens of pages organized by botanical name, that would be Latin. (It helps to bring your trusty copy of the Sunset Western Garden Book, if you don’t have one, there are tons of perfectly good used ones, they don’t date easily! But keep it under wraps, you are a landscape pro, right?) When you have made your selection, drive your pickup through, load it, then pull up to the office to have it priced and pay.
Both have bedding plants/​ground covers for a few dollars per flat on up to $ 1000+ specimen trees. Retail has a small scratch and dent area with some bargains.
Retail is always having great sales (–40%) which approach in price that of the wholesale side, like $ 5 2 gallon blueberries. They can transfer over material from wholesale. Wholesale is open to professionals, you need to provide a name of someone who has an account, but you can pay with your own personal check. Lately «wholesale» has been opening on Saturday mornings to all comers, no account necessary — phone them to confirm. Please don’t pester them with plant questions on the wholesale side, they are just not set up for it.
I love our retail nurseries, the great service they provide and their small plants that can fit in a car, or even on a bike! (Portland Nursery, for instance, has a unique source for awesome alpine lodgepole pines, a sunny native and very cool unassuming tree) Once you have those nurseries figured, and you are looking for bigger, rarer, more quantity, more choice in the character of a plant, Loen is a glimpse at the big landscape world!
