Emily +
Austin

Emily and Austin collaborate to bring their unique set of skills, knowledge and experiences together in their work. Out of this, The Green Seed Sustainable Design + Nursery has thrived.

We are a women owned, family-run business established in 2014. At first Emily and Austin ran 3 landscaping crews out of Portland, OR and it is here that they began their ventures into design work.

In 2018 they moved their business to Canby, OR. “The Garden Spot“. Since then Emily and Austin have re-invented The Green Seed. They have closed the landscaping division and are focused on Sustainable Design + Planting projects as well as their Certified Naturally Grown Nursery.

Certified Natural Grown

Our business has never used chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and has always valued local and sustainable products. However, we couldn’t find plants grown the same way for our design clients. We opened our Certified Naturally Grown nursery in 2019 to start producing sustainable plants for our landscape design projects. We have stayed true to our roots and use naturally derived fertilizers and potting mix ingredients sourced locally. We use only natural soaps and oils or living organisms such as insects and microbes for pest control in our nursery.

Our earth-friendly plants are now available to the public and to Retail Garden Center and Landscapers, see below for events where you can purchase our plants.

Open Gardens

The Green Seed Gardens will be open for a self guided tour. This is a wonderful unique opportunity to look at examples of plants, different types of hardscaping, mulch, rain-gardens, meadowscaping and more. This is an amazing visual opportunity to see newly planted gardens and mature established gardens. A selection of our plants will be available for purchase.
