What's better than visiting a nursery for the first time? Finding out that it's a great place that you'll want to revisit often! That's just what happened when I visited Bremerton City Nursery last weekend.

I love the entrance arbor and wonder what might have been in those pots on the roof earlier this year.

The nursery is much bigger than it appears from the street and that space is packed with great plants!

Even as many of the plants are closing up shop for the winter, Helleborus niger is starting to bloom.

Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii 'Kolmgala' (Snowberry) is looking lovely. I was sorely tempted to bring one home but didn't.

One of the things that I found especially cool about this place is that, while they had holiday stuff as well, their emphasis was still on plants. I got a Brugmansia 'Jean Pasco,' a variety new to me from the sale area.

The knowledgeable and very nice young woman at the shop gave us a lesson about wintering carpenter bees when I inquired about a project laid out on a table. Seems there had been a presentation earlier in the day. What a treat to learn something new about these fascinating creatures.

What a fun place. There was also an inside shop packed with garden-related stuff and nicely selected gift ware. Sorry that there aren't any images it the coolness inside; someone got carried away looking at everything!

And there is a sun room full of treasures!
Like this delicious display of tender succulents.
I fell for one of these Solanum pseudocapsicum (Jerusalem Cherry)
Fun lucite ornaments!
Seems like there was something for everyone here whether you garden on a very small scale
or a considerably larger one.
Saturday was delightfully sunny, a welcome break from the gray days earlier in the week! A little plant-centric retail therapy in the sun is just what the doctor ordered!
There's also a coffee shop with outdoor seating on the deck.
