We are a specialty nursery for hardy perennials and companion plants
1. ON SITE
Our plant beds are laid out in attractive, realistic and inspiring schemes in which textures and shapes dance the seasons with wind and light. Almost all of our plants are propagated and raised right here. Most of the mother plants are no more than a hundred meters away from their babies.
2. ORGANIC
We are nature friendly nursery which has not used any pesticides or herbicides for 30 years and counting. We apply organic farming standards throughout. If we would not have to use small amounts of high quality slow release fertilizer pellets in our pots, we wouldn’t.
3. MANUALLY
We still operate in the traditional way, by hand and foot, no machines are used in the production process. At the nursery we try to create a natural balance by providing also our smallest wildlife with necessary habitat.
4. HARDY
Our zone here in Langley’s south is USDA Zone 6. We grow plants from USDA Zone 2 to Zone 6 although even some plants considered Zone 7 are thriving here. We have a fabulous selection of hardy shade plants that will grow under fir and cedar trees as well as xeric plants for extreme dry conditions and many more in between.
5. QUALITY GUARANTEE
As our logo indicates, we are very proud to provide quality plants. The plants are labeled true to name, but when (rarely) something still gets mixed up here, we will gladly exchange or refund you for the invoiced value.
The nursery and our private garden.
With the progress of the seasons, the gardens change and different layers of plants come into bloom. A visit at a time of year, when your own garden seems to lack the lustre will give you new ideas and inspiration. You can also join us on one of our scheduled Saturday walks in spring or fall during which we will talk plants and projects in our private gardens.

Free Spirit Nursery is as charming and grounded as its owners who are creative and knowledgeable (Lambert once worked for Piet Oudolf and Marjanne trained in functional design and ceramics).
What a stellar nursery! This is the real thing, plants propagated on site by extremely knowledgeable gardeners. The selection is excellent, and the plants are large and healthy. … A plant lover’s dream.
Thank you for a very nice visit to your nursery. Our friends immediately became Free Spirits and couldn’t quite believe that it all was so real and so different from anything they’d ever seen. It was a great day. For ourselves, we were very pleased to see the nursery which is ever changing and an inspiration to many. … The distance to your place isn’t as far as we imagine it to be. The plants we all took home with us, are emotionally charged and are fond reminders of two Free Spirits!
