Yamagami's Enchanted Forest
|
Get a jump on Christmas preparations by choosing your perfect tree early in the season. Our Christmas tree lot officially opens on Saturday, November 22. Choose your tree early and we will keep it here outdoors, protected, and in water until you are ready for it. When you want to take it home, we will put a fresh cut on the trunk and net your tree. Delivery service 6 days a week is available, or we will load your tree in or on your vehicle.
Yamagami's offers the finest Noble Firs on the market. Our trees are grown by Bear Canyon Tree Farm in the high mountains of Washington. Since 1949, for three generations, this family farm has been growing Noble Firs using sustainable, green-farming practices. The trees are heavy with moisture and when kept in water, will last all season long. This is where you will find your perfect tree!

We also offer tree stands, tree disposal bags and cut tree preservative. If you purchase or have purchased your tree stand here, we will put it on your tree every year. Come visit us to find your perfect tree for a very merry Christmas.

Grow Your Own Spuds!
Plant seed potatoes now for spring and summer harvests. We offer a wide selection of organically grown potatoes in different colors and shapes, all kinds of goodness, for all kinds of dishes.
|
Potatoes are unique in their growth habit. They do not have to be buried deeply (little digging), but instead get covered with mulch or soil as they grow. See our Potato Growing Guide for complete instructions. The flavor and texture of homegrown is far superior to store-bought. We also offer Gardman Potato Tubs for container farmers. They are easy to use and convenient to harvest. They are a great gift for the condo dweller who loves spuds. See a video on how to plant the tub here.
|
 |
As long as you store them in a cool, dark, dry place (think root cellar), seed potatoes will keep if you are not ready to plant. Quantities are limited, so come in soon for best selection.

'Donard Gold' Cypress
|
'Donard Gold' Cypress is garden gold both in the ground and in container gardens. Its new foliage starts out chartreuse, then turns yellow as it ages. The foliage also has a pleasing lemony scent.
'Donard Gold' Cypress is a very slow grower, to 20 feet tall and 8 feet wide in 30 years. This makes it an excellent candidate for a living Christmas tree or for a container garden that can be decorated for the holidays. Because 'Donard Gold' Cypress is narrow, it also can be planted as a screen, or as a striking backdrop for green plants. Come in to see and brush against these beauties.

Ruben's Veggie Pick:
Kaleidoscope Kale Sprouts
|
Kaleidoscope Kale Sprouts are a tasty cross between Brussels sprouts and kale. They grow like Brussels sprouts, but their heads stay open resembling fluffy flowers on tall stems. The sprouts are tasty and tender, like baby kale. Serve them steamed or sautéed, or try them in a warm wilted salad… yummy! There are three colors in the Kaleidoscope mix: red, green and bicolor (red and green).
