Our SGN Trees Family made the most out of our time

Our SGN Trees Family made the most out of our time together kicking off the New Year in Oregon! In between nursery visits, we enjoyed exploring Portland’s Japanese Gardens, Multnomah Falls, the Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood, and the spectacular Oregon coast. We loved our time together in the trees! #oregonexplored #sogreen @springgrovenursery #sgntrees #treevolution @jamiethomastree @beckygrowstrees @maggers20 @zharper_16

The SGN Trees Family wrapped up our time in the trees visiting our friends at J. Frank Schmidt Nursery. We were treated to a fantastic tour by New Plant Development Manager Guy Meacham. We saw trees in every stage of production and were able to watch harvest, grading, and bundling in action. It is remarkable to see firsthand the dedication and hard work that goes into growing trees. When we visit our Oregon nursery partners, we get a glimpse into the 5 year process a tree takes from seed or cutting to get to the size it is when we receive and plant it into our field. We learned from Guy that in his area of new plant development, it takes between 17-30 years to bring a new cultivar or hybrid to market. Persistence and patience rule in the tree world! Thank you to the team at @jfstrees for your commitment & dedication to growing trees and sharing your passion with our SGN family & the world! 🌎 🌳❤️ #treesaretheanswer #treevolution @springgrovenursery #nurserytour #newplants #whatsnew @beckygrowstrees @maggers20 @zharper_16 @jamiethomastree @kahuna1342

The next stops on our SGN Trees nursery tour were Heritage Seedlings and Kuenzi Turf & Nursery. Each nursery offered an inside look at tree production from the very beginning stages. We saw seedlings, grafting, potting, and millions of baby trees! Fern & Benji loved exploring the nurseries too - perfect stop for a family vacation / tree tour! Thank to Eric at Heritage Seedlings and Tyler at Kuenzi Nursery for sharing part of your day with us at your beautiful nurseries! While in the area Maggie, Zach, & Joey had to of course catch some Illini Basketball who were conveniently in Eugene playing the Ducks. It was an Illini win too! #treetours #oregonnurseries #kuenzinursery #somanytrees @springgrovenursery #treevolution @jamiethomastree @beckygrowstrees @maggers20 @zharper_16

The SGN Trees Family kicked off the New Year in Or

The SGN Trees Family kicked off the New Year in Oregon! Joey is spending the winter interning at Robinson Nursery, so we all packed up and headed west to spend family time together along the stunning Oregon coast. In between sightseeing, we have been able to visit nurseries and watch our spring crop of trees getting harvested, sorted, bundled, and prepped for shipping to us in a few short months. Fascinating! Here are a few pics of our visit to Robinson Nursery where Josh Robinson gave us the BEST behind the scenes tour! Joey has been graciously welcomed there as part of their team and family, and they showed us that same hospitality during our visit. Thank you to the Robinson family for hosting us! In between nursery visits, we also took in the spectacular Oregon coast sites. The sea lions and fresh seafood in Newport were a hit with the kids. And of course we had to check out the Tillamook Cheese factory! Our New Year is off to a great start in Oregon! #nurserytours #sealions #tillamookcheese #newyears #oregoncoast @robinsonnursery @springgrovenursery #sgntrees #treevolution @jamiethomastree @beckygrowstrees @maggers20 @zharper_16
