Black Lake
Organic Nursery lives up to its name. All of our food crops (vegetable
starts, herbs and even flowers) are grown organically from the start. The
remainder of our nursery is woody plants (trees and shrubs), some herbaceous
perennial flowers, ferns, and ground cover plants.
We specialize in native plants of Western Washington, but we also offer a
limited selection of non-native ornamentals. With some exceptions our woody
plants are generally purchased as seedlings or cutting starts from wholesale
nurseries that may or may not use organic methods of propagation. Upon
arrival, the plants are cleaned-up and repotted in our own custom-blended
Mineral Augmented Organic potting mixes. From there they are held in reserve
until established or rooted-out prior to sale. No chemicals are used for
pest control. Occasional pest or disease problems are treated using only
organic-approved materials.
We offer quality grown, healthy plants guaranteed to grow or your money will
be refunded within a year of purchase, provided you take reasonable care of
the plant and use non-chemical methods to grow it. Owing to our limited
space and facilities we do not attempt to offer many conventional nursery
plants, exotic plants, highly-bred plants or indoor plants.
Vegetable Starts
Black Lake Organic is known for a wide selection of quality, organic-grown
vegetable starts available from early spring in a succession through to fall
for winter gardening. We were growing these starts by organic methods long
before certified organic legislation and requirements were passed. Because
of the Mineral Augmented Organic approach developed in formulating our
potting mixes, we provide nutritionally superior, healthy transplants you
won't find elsewhere.
We do NOT "get in" our vegetable transplants. We grow them at B.L.O. In
addition to vegetable starts, we offer organic-grown herbs and a limited
selection of annual and perennial flowers. Some of the latter transplants we
grow ourselves and some we purchase from other local organic growers due to
lack of growing facilities, manpower, etc. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.
We will replace or refund any start that you feel failed to perform due to
some fault on our part.
As an example of our offerings, we sell 40 some varieties of tomato plants,
about 15 varieties of hot and sweet peppers, and 4 varieties of eggplant
plants. Yes, eggplants will grow here.
Remember, we’re open from 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM, Tuesday through Saturday,
closed major holidays.
