Getting to know us:
In 1981 Wolfgang Mueller came to Redmond, WA looking for property to start a nursery here in the US; he chose the 40 acre site we currently occupy. Although the beet farm was run down (with goats living in the basement of the existing farm house) Wolfgang saw a promising future. Beginning as a u-pick farm with several different kind of fruiting trees and vines it soon changed direction and in 1986 Tissues and Liners was born.
Susanne Foster, one of the farm's first managers, brought with her from Germany the desire to build the business into a premier tissue and liner provider, and she built the first greenhouses on the property. Although we may not have become a tissues and liners nursery Susanne did begin our love of container grown plants by introducing grasses and clematis.
Several years later Josef and Rita Singendonk came from Germany to manage the nursery, bringing both the passion for heathers and quality German watering booms. Their dream for the company was to mass produce heathers that would be sent all over the US and they added on several more fields and greenhouses while doing the cuttings work in the basement of the farm house (no more goats allowed!)
In 1994 Wolfgang was once more on the hunt for a General Manager. He contacted Professor Fritz Moellman, an old friend, to see if he had a recommendation. Fritz said that he had one former student working as an intern in OR that would be a strong manager. Wolfgang contacted Andrej Suske and in 1994 he joined Tissues and Liners. His mission was to grow the best container grown plants available and he understood that the name Tissues and Liners was no long applicable and so in 2000 we changed the name to T&L Nursery, Inc.
What once started as a u-pick farm has now grown into production facility that covers 35 acres of growing space including over 50 greenhouses and 16 open field space. During the high season we employ approximately 80 employees, a great many of whom have been with us for several years. In addition to growing a wide selection of heathers, vines, ground covers, ornamental grasses and perennials, we are dedicated to producing quality plants that will stand the test of time. We strive to provide the best service possible and invite you to put us to the test and let us prove our commitment to quality and service.
