About Van Essen Nursery

Van Essen Nursery Company was started in 1976 by David Van Essen.  He began the nursery with 10 acres along the South Santiam River near Lebanon, Oregon.

While the nursery has grown to over 300 acres, our mission has not changed.  We are as committed now as we were 30 years ago to consistently provide quality nursery stock, competitively priced with personalized and detailed customer service, and are just as committed to responding to our customer's needs, and being attentive to ever-changing market trends.

When it comes to plants, we are proud of the mix we've developed, from the tried and true to the hot new varieties our customers are always looking for.

You can check out our plant selection by navigating to our PRODUCTS menu.  If you would like more information about any plants you see on our website, please contact us at (541) 258-3626 or send us an email, we'd love to hear from you!

Van Essen Nursery is proud to be one of a select group of Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Gold Key growers, which means we have access to the hottest new shrubs on the market before many other growers.

We are also very proud to be partnered with these great plant introduction companies:
