Jack’s Juniper

February 18, 2025

A unique and rare Siskiyou endemic, Jack’s Juniper grows only on ultramafic rocks in higher elevations of the Siskiyou Mountains, and also reportedly in a few places in the Cascades. It creates a beautiful slithering silvery ground cover that is absolutely breathtaking when covered in mountain mist and complements the manzanitas of the chapparal “overstory” perfectly. This is a very slow grower and should be given very sharp drainage, but has so far been amenable to nursery potting media, though a good bit of iron and magnesium once it’s planted in the ground should help it adapt to life outside of the mountains.

Looking back on spring ’21

June 18, 2021 ~~Around The Farm~~

Flowers in winter!

January 22, 2021 ~~OGW Growing Guides~~

Winter is usually the last season that comes to mind when thinking of plants in bloom, but adding winter interest to the garden does wonders in getting us through the darker months of the year. Too many gardens we visit in the winter look so bleak, dark, deciduous and grey...

Summertime is one of our favorite seasons here at the nursery! After the madness of spring finally winds down a bit we can all take a breath, watch our plants grow, water from morning until night, propagate plants for next year and put plants in the ground here at the...

Climate Adapted Gardens

August 16, 2019 ~~Around The FarmOGW Growing Guides~~

Adaptation in the Age of Warming As gardeners and nursery workers we have a keen eye on what we can expect from our local climate and what kind of weather we get in a season. While weather is constantly fluctuating our climate was historically thought to be relatively stable on...

Trees for All Seasons

August 6, 2019

It’s simple: broadleaved evergreens are trees that don’t lose their leaves. And despite their versatility and beauty, they are often underused. Why? Most people, including knowledgeable gardeners, equate evergreens with conifers—and Christmas trees— rather than broadleaved plants. And many of the most attractive broadleaved evergreens have only recently become commercially available. Sean Hogan—one of America’s most respected and well-known horticulturists—aims to correct the problem with this groundbreaking title.
