Zenith Holland Nursery — Local services in Des Moines

Great selection, friendly knowledgeable staff and fantastic prices. Start your nursery shopping here! I am helping a friend landscape their 5 acre lot. So we need a lot of plants, trees and shrubs. We have bought 3 truck and trailers worth over the last 2 weekends. We have visited just about every nursery in the Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Auburn, Federal Way area.

Zenith Holland is now my favorite nursery I have found in South King County. Some other nursery's are bigger some have different plants that you will not find here, and you will want to buy some things from other nurseries like we did. BUT.... I would advise you to start here. I wish we would have gone here first, as now this is the last place we are going to, and will come back here first for more plants in a few weeks when they get more mid summer blooming perennials in.

I have never seen Edelweiss for sale any where before how cool! Sorry we bought half of them but there might be some left.

First they have a fantastic variety of Healthy Plants! Large for the pot but not root bound plants. The prices are either on par or lower than any of the other 9 places I have been to in the last few weeks. lots of plants were twice as big and 30% the cost of the other places we went. Most importantly great healthy plants! I was also told by the owner they are using organic fertilizers that will not be toxic to bees like most of the plants that nurseries get shipped in. Ask them to explain that. Its kind of important if you know about all the bee colony collapse that has been happening!

Second the staff & owner. Of all the places we went to, the people here were the most knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. That is saying a lot as most nurseries have nice people!

Once again it was a pleasure to buy from here and can't...

10/10 for all things Christmastime! We were looking for nearby spots to take our 1.5 year old to see Santa and the "Burien Mom's Group" on Facebook suggest ZHN. We had never been before. Had no expectations and had a hard time finding out details aside from days/times Santa would be there. Showed up (first weekend in Dec) and NO ONE was there for Santa, zero line. We took our time, Santa gave our daughter a candy cane. Photos are free, taken on your phone, but donations are encouraged and go towards the City. The set up is gorgeous (better than a mall) and Santa was the real thing! It was so lovely to not stress with a crowd and waiting and being rushed. They also let your kiddo choose a free Xmas book from a library of donated books. We then wandered around, picked out ornaments (their selection is honestly unbeatable and worth stopping by just to browse). Went back for a second visit today for our tree! Prices for a locally-owned nursery are SO reasonable (trees, ornaments, etc). Santa was there again, no line, but our daughter didn't want to visit him again haha. Even so, they gave us chocolate chip cookies and another free Xmas book! Everyone that works at the nursery is insanely nice and helpful. Literally greeting you as you enter. My husband and I are SO happy we...

Cute store but best not to bring your dog. Dogs are invited to take a picture with Santa, but I watched a customer’s leashed dog get attacked by the off-leash store dog. More concerning was the employee reaction was as if it was something normal. There was another off-leash dog guarding Santa. I’m still a bit shaken up and hope this can save a dog from getting attacked there.

EDIT: I can't decide which is more disturbing. The fact that I was a witness and this response is a lie. (That poor little dog was grabbed by its face, It's legs were dangling down literally off the ground!) Or the fact that they automatically assumed I was that woman and tried to make her...
