We are far from your "typical" plant place or garden center. People tell us a visit to Blue River Nursery is the next best thing to visiting a botanical garden. Whether you are landscaping your home or are a serious plant collector, we think you'll really enjoy visiting our nursery and our on line store. We are a local grower of a large variety of trees, flowering shrubs, vines, dwarf conifers, Japanese maples, and perennial flowers.

Many of our plants are unusual and difficult to find. Additionally, we ship plants all over the entire country, except California, through our on line store. Blue River Nursery is a local family owned business. Our staff designs and plants complete landscapes, including hardscapes such as patios with sitting walls, sidewalks and retaining walls. We are also enthusiastic about helping folks create their own small charming gardens.

Let us know about your project and how we may serve you best. If you want to design and install your own landscape and gardens and you need a cool place to purchase your plants, we are the place you've been looking for!

We are a large horticultural operation run by a small family.

Shawn's wife, Kelly, provides office support and occasional customer service; their son, Georg, is often seen at the nursery, learning the trade and working alongside the staff.
Georg's Granddad is John Lorenz, Kelly's father, and he assists Shawn with all the day-to-day business.
