Willows End is an inspiration garden and home-based nursery in the Pinehurst neighborhood of Northeast Seattle. Open gardens (which are free) happen several times a year and are a great chance to walk the garden and/or shop for plants. The garden is a densely-planted wildlife-friendly urban oasis. In 2025, gardener-in-chief Christopher started offering plants for sale, all propagated and grown on site. The nursery offers mostly perennials and shrubs, with a few annuals, succulents, and pond plants in the mix. You are welcome to make an appointment to walk the garden and shop outside of open garden dates.

Please see our current plant list for what’s available in the nursery. We accept cash or card for purchases.

October is prime time for planting new trees, shrubs, and perennials. The nursery is well stocked with great plants for Seattle-area gardens, and the Willows End garden continues to showcase many of the wonderful late-season plants we have to choose from in this climate. Plus it’s always a good time to come see how Erin’s living willow structures are growing.

Parking and accessibility

Willows End is the home garden of Erin and Christopher Cox in the Pinehurst neighborhood of Northeast Seattle. We live on an urban cul-de-sac, and there is usually easy parking for eight to ten cars on our street. During events you may have to check adjacent streets for parking.

There is a set of ten concrete steps with a sturdy handrail to get from street level to the garden. Once in the garden, there are gently sloping mulched path alternatives to any additional steps.
