Welcome to the vibrant and ever-evolving world of Watson's Greenhouse and Nursery, a pinnacle of garden excellence and community spirit nestled in the heart of Puyallup. Since its inception in February 1984, Watson’s has grown from a modest 10,000 square foot greenhouse into a flourishing oasis for gardening enthusiasts and beginners alike. The seeds of this family-run business were sown by Fran Watson and her daughter Maidee Watson, embarking on a journey dedicated to quality, growth, and impeccable customer service. Through the years, the Watson family, including Fran, Maidee, Dan Watson after his retirement from education, and Terri Elliott, have cultivated not just plants but a rich heritage of gardening expertise and a strong bond with the community.

As Watson's Greenhouse and Nursery expanded, it wasn't just the physical space that grew, but its commitment to bringing the most beautiful and healthy plants to its customers. The addition of Dan Watson in 1990 marked a pivotal shift towards full-time dedication to the business, seeing a swell in both the workforce and the variety of plants and products offered. By 1997, the retail space had doubled, and the growing space had significantly increased, signifying a bloom in Watson’s service and quality. This expansion laid the groundwork for what was to come next - the introduction of a stunning, state-of-the-art 32,500 square foot greenhouse in 1998, providing an inspiring space for gardeners to explore an expanded gift line, garden art, and an even broader variety of plants and gardening products. The leap into expansive retail and growing spaces allowed Watson's to root itself deeper into the hearts of its customers by offering an abundance of annual plants, planters, and hanging baskets directly cultivated by their experienced hands. This strategic move not only showcased Watson’s dedication to quality but also its forward-thinking approach in the gardening business. By controlling the majority of their plant growth, Watson's ensures that each plant is given the detailed care and attention it deserves, directly benefiting the customers with healthier and more vibrant garden choices. Such innovations have solidified Watson’s position as a leader in the gardening industry, always looking ahead to improve and expand their offerings. The evolution of Watson's Greenhouse and Nursery from a small family operation into a landmark of gardening excellence is a testament to the power of passion, innovation, and community. With each expansion and innovation, Watson’s has not just grown in size but in the hearts of the community it serves. By continuing to embrace the core values of quality, customer service, and family, Watson’s Greenhouse and Nursery promises to remain a cherished destination for gardening enthusiasts and families for generations to come.
