About the Nursery

Our Story

Far Reaches Farm is a rare plant specialty nursery in Port Townsend, Washington with thousands of plant taxa represented in our collection! We make our extraordinary plants available to everyone in the US through our mail order nursery. The pandemic has greatly impacted our staffing levels and negatively influenced the local labor force as well. We can’t see being able to reopen for onsite shopping here anytime in the foreseeable future. Fortunately mail order has been very good. For those of you who miss walking around the gardens, members of the Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy are welcome to visit by appointment, and those picking up orders in person are welcome as well please just let us know in advance!

We do have curbside pick up available year-round! You can order online, or give a call or email. We have a handy table right inside our front gate where you can come pick up.

You can learn more about us on A Way to Garden, the award-winning podcast by Margaret Roach, in her episode Unusual Perennials, with Kelly Dodson.

We (Sue and Kelly) are also contributing editors to Fine Gardening magazine. You can find some of our articles online here.

New & Restocked

These are our latest plants recently added to the website and we agree with you – it would be great to have photos for all of them!
