Evergreen Gardenworks

What it is

Evergreen Gardenworks is a first-party specialty bonsai plant nursery and mail-order grower based near Kelseyville, California (Lake County). Official About Us: started by Susie and Brent in 1989 to propagate and grow rare and unusual plants for bonsai and landscape; growing grounds are about six miles south of Kelseyville, roughly three hours north of the San Francisco Bay Area. The nursery ships starter and grow-on stock within the continental United States only (About / home: no Hawaii, US territories, or other countries). Primary identity is the printed 2026 Availability List and Plant Catalog with on-page dollar prices — not a membership club and not a museum class series. Appointment-only visits are noted; there is no regular public retail storefront with walk-in hours.

Who it’s for

USA continental mail-order buyers who want first-party starter plants, cultivars, and grow-on stock for bonsai development (maples, junipers, flowering quince, crabapples, pines, and related subjects) with printed pot-size prices; collectors watching the Specimen catalog for larger material; and growers who prefer email-order from a small family nursery rather than a marketplace reseller. Beginner primer pages on the same site do not move this card into Learning.

Why it’s listed

This is a first-party specialty nursery with a printed Kelseyville mailing address, a dated 2026 Availability List with on-page dollar prices, Plant Catalog / order paths, and About Us context — not a scraped directory card and not an Amazon storefront. (Candidate notes this ship: nebonsai.com still redirects to bonsaioutlet.com; dallasbonsai.com still a thin lander path; Bonsai West has a strong Littleton MA address/hours page but no citeable tree-price catalog on the public site at check; Bonsaify.com is a strong alternate first-party Bay Area grower/shop with printed SKU prices and may ship in a later weekday.)

Confirm live stock and sold-out flags on https://evergreengardenworks.com/availabl.htm

Q: Do the beginner articles make this a Learning listing? A: No. Bonsai Plaza category lock: a nursery’s beginner primer or care articles do not move the card into Learning. Learning needs a curriculum/schedule-first page as the primary identity (see Gresham Japanese Garden bonsai workshops or Brooklyn Botanic Garden Art of Bonsai). Evergreen Gardenworks remains Nurseries.
