Sargent's Floral & Gift

In 1971, Forrest Sargent began Sargent's Landscape Nursery, Inc. on a small lot near what is now HOM Furniture. Five years later, the business moved to its present 18th Avenue NW location. Today this location, Sargent's North, is home to our business offices, landscape design, installation and maintenance team, 40 acre tree and plant nursery and north garden center. In 1985, our second retail store opened on 2nd Street SW. Then in 1992, we purchased Colours Flower Market to provide a full-service floral department from within the Sargent's on 2nd Garden Center.

We continually have opportunities for great people to join our team, whether you have experience in the horticulture industry, are a recent graduate or simply looking for a part-time seasonal opportunity, we may have a place for you.

Our annual and perennial production teams start early in the year, before peak season kicks off.

Tomatoes, like peppers, and some flowers and herbs should be started indoors. Seeds need to be growing 6-10 weeks, depending on the variety, before transplanting into the garden. This time gives the seedlings a chance to establish indoors before you move them outside. Seed packages will have specific information, so follow the dates on the individual packages. As an alternative, you can purchase tomato and pepper plants at the garden center, where you will find a multitude of varieties. This is a symptom of Blossom End Rot, which is common on tomatoes.

Our designers work to understand your personal aesthetic style (formal, informal, naturalistic or native) and incorporate materials that inform that style (boulders, cut stone, brick, flagstone, clipped hedges, ornamental grasses, etc.). They also identify the types of spaces you desire (a secluded and intimate courtyard or a large open space with sweeping views) and the opportunities and challenges your site affords as it relates to drainage, soils, sun and shade, circulation, views, seating areas, and water features.

Landscapes hold the potential to both improve and regenerate the natural benefits and services provided by ecosystems in their undeveloped state, thus providing future generations with the resources and abilities to meet their needs. Sargent's landscape designers assess your property to determine the best application of sustainable landscape practices. Once these applications are discussed a design solution and a material/installation estimate can be generated.
