About Us

THE PROPERTY

Work on the grounds began in 1995.

Only 7 trees were kept from

the farmhouse's original landcape.

Today, nine acres of the 51-acre farm

are dedicated to gardens

and feature a variety of styles and plant material....

simple, cottage gardens to

more formal, European-inspired designs.

The gardens are private,

but are open for charitable events

throughout the year.

Creative Celebrations.

Rod Juntunen

He graduated from the University of Washington's landscape architecture program

To enhance his landcape design and construction company,

Rod returned to Mount Vernon

to grow landscape trees.

Currently over 20,000 trees are in production.
