Arai Nursery Family

Mike 

Don't listen when Mike says that he just waters the plants. He also fertilizes them. Honestly though, the nursery runs because of Mike's hard work during the off-season.

Becky

 What started as a small patch of Rhododendrons has grown beyond our expectations. We appreciate everyone who drives out of their way to reach our nursery each year. My favorite part of nursery season is watching what plant arrangements people come up with for their containers.

Linda

Linda has been working at Arai Nursery for many seasons.  She is a tremendous help, and we are lucky to have her!   She is always ready to give a helping hand with a smile on her face.  It is a pleasure to be working with her.

Jackie 

Jackie is also another regular at the Arai Nursery. She helps with cashiering, reorganizing plants (which is a never ending job), and making sure that people's plants are packed to be transported safely to their homes.

Jess

 Jess is an honorary Arai Nursery daughter. She's worked at the Camas Plant and Garden show since the very first year it was held. In fact, we couldn't run the sale downtown without her help! She's full of great suggestions for color combinations. One day Jess would like to own her own organic farm and tea house.

Mandie, Alex, Henry & Charlie

Mandie has taken on the crucial role of lead cashier at the Camas Plant and Garden Sale on Mother's Day weekend. No matter how long the lines get, she manages to keep the sale moving with a friendly and pleasant demeanor. Alex also plays a vital role in the Camas Plant and Garden Sale. He carefully transports all the plants from our Nursery down to the sale. He makes numerous trips during the day and is able to not only make trips quickly, but also keeps the plants looking their best upon arrival.

Alison, Jeremy, Hazel, Quentin, & Arthur

Alison enlisted Jeremy's help at the nursery 22 years ago, and he has been a steady volunteer ever since. who has brought the nursery into the digital age with technology for sales and our website. Alison plans and organizes our Plant and Garden Fair booth since the first year it was held.

Sadly, we lost our official greeter, Boss. Our new dog, Shadow, is hoping to some day be calm enough to meet you all during a future nursery season....
