PLANT SALE: 

SUNDQUIST NURSERY

Bainbridge in Bloom's featured plant sale grower, is run by Nils Sundquist of Poulsbo. Nils started his nursery in 1987 and quit his day job as a nursery buyer ten years later. He is one of the more knowledgeable plantspeople in the region.

The nursery specializes in foliage perennials, ferns, and grasses. As a keen gardener himself, Nils says, "I place strong emphasis not just on plant interest, but also on plant performance. "

Nils is a plant fiend, so you never know what you're going to find at the sale! He also believes in supporting the arts. A big share of the sale proceeds benefit the BIAHC.
