The Brothers Greenhouses is an independently owned and operated garden center. Plants grown in our facility easily adapt to different climates on the Kitsap Peninsula. Open year-round, it is our goal to provide well-cared-for plants, inspirational gardens, and educational opportunities for our local community. 

Plants

We offer a vast selection of perennials, annuals, houseplants, tropical plants, ferns, cacti, succulents, vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, evergreen trees, natives, groundcovers, shrubs, vines, planters, baskets, and seasonal favorites.

From the Owners

Picture
Marilyn Davis and Cheryl Pelkey have seen many changes in The Brothers Greenhouses since the time we purchased the business in 1996. 

Twenty years ago, the business was mainly a wholesale facility growing a modest selection of plants and delivering those to small retail outlet stores. 

Today, our business has transformed into a retail garden center where most of our clientele includes local customers shopping through our vast variety of indoor and outdoor plants ranging from houseplants, tropical, cacti, succulents, novelties, annuals, vegetables, perennials, fruiting vines and shrubs, fruit trees, native plants, pond plants, air plants, and the list goes on.

Since building our Hobbit House in 2014, visitors have come from around the country to step inside our Tolkien-inspired tiny house. It has been featured on King 5 Evening Magazine, and has appeared on numerous websites including Roadside America, Kitsap Daily News, WestSound Home + Garden, Kitsap Sun,  Yelp, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Trip Advisor, 365 Things to do in Washington, Visit Kitsap Peninsula, Northwest News for Washington, Nikki Cleveland's Only in Your State, Atlas Obscura, MIC, and Insider to name some "hidden gem" seekers. 

We would like to thank the hundreds, perhaps thousands, who have supported us throughout the years. Without your patronage we would not be here. 

Thank you!

In June 2018, I had occasion to meet Sean Astin, the actor who played Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He was kind enough to sign a photograph of our Hobbit House. 

He wrote: "'Sam' #3 Bag Slot Row."

"This nursery has a large selection and knowledgeable staff. It’s known for carrying colorful annuals and also has wonderful houseplants. The Brothers grows most of its stock on-site, so it’s well-adapted to local conditions. For pure fun and inspiration, you can’t beat the nursery’s Hobbit-inspired tiny house and display garden."
