Nurseries and Farms On the Vineyard and Valley Scenic Tour Route

Oregon is among the producers of nursery goods, and Washington County is one of Oregon’s leaders. Plants from Washington County are shipped to gardeners all over the country as well as overseas. Washington County nurseries offer incredible mixes of plant types, colors, textures, and smells. Early Washington County settlers like John Porter and Gustav Teufel helped establish the nursery business in Oregon. Trees in many local orchards hail from stock started by Porter, who also contributed sequoia seeds to the area. Those seeds became landmark 120-year-old trees visible today.
