The Birth of Machias Nursery             

We are Dennis and Chris Bahr and we opened Machias Nursery in April of  2003. We are a husband and wife team who previously owned a landscape and maintenance business based in Bellevue, WA. As a side-line in 1998, we experimented with growing perennials from seed and soon began selling at area Farmer's Markets, plant sales, and local nurseries. Our shared passion for plants led us to establish this unique nursery to serve our community.

When the current nursery location (formerly J & M Nursery) became available, we decided to take the plunge. Starting small, keeping the landscaping business, we worked long hours and slowly expanded into over 3 acres of nursery stock sales area. We believe we have reached our goal of being able to supply all your gardening needs, from a complete landscape project to seasonal color spots and pot-stuffers.

With the many years of hands-on gardening, design and installation,  we have a solid foundation of horticultural experience. We take immense pride and joy in our ability to assist customers in choosing plants that will thrive in their unique garden space.

 "For The Love of Plants" is what Machias Nursery is all about. Plants are our passion and we are eager to share that with our customers. The surrounding neighborhoods are primarily rural-suburban, and we have a huge selection of ornamental and fruiting trees for larger properties. With our growing number of urban customers, we have made available many choices of small-growing trees for small-space gardens. Our shrub and hedge selection is extensive and we have colorful perennials, annuals, vegetables, hanging baskets, and herbs. Another major draw to our nursery are the rare and unusual conifers and Japanese Maples that Dennis hand selects! And to make certain that your new plants get off to a great start, we offer "Gardner and Bloome" premium compost and potting soil and a complete line of "Doctor Earth" pet-safe, earth-friendly organic fertilizers.

New visitors to the Nursery always say; "Your plants look so healthy!" and "You have such unusual selections!" Stop in and see what we have to offer. Chris, Dennis and our friendly staff are here to help with your planting needs.
