The Highland Meadow Story: How We Grow for You

Highland Meadow Nursery began in 1994 with a simple but bold idea: build a wholesale nursery strong enough to thrive through every market cycle – by doing things the right way.

Founded by Dan Staley after 25 years in the nursery industry, Highland Meadow was shaped by hard-earned experience across multiple companies. From day one, the focus was clear: disciplined production, uncompromising quality, and relationships built to last.

More than 30 years later, that vision has grown into a privately owned, 115-acre production nursery recognized for consistent quality, dependable service, and plants that perform in the field.

Located just 20 miles south of Portland, Oregon, we grow in the heart of the Willamette Valley – one of the most respected nursery climates in the world. This advantage, combined with continual evaluation of our growing practices, plant selection, and availability, allows us to deliver premium plants our customers can rely on year after year.

We serve licensed nursery and landscape professionals exclusively. Our customers aren’t transactions – they’re partners. Their success is our success, and that commitment shows in every plant we grow and every relationship we cultivate.

Dan Staley

Founder & Owner

When Dan Staley founded Highland Meadow Nursery in 1994, he envisioned a modest 40-acre operation. Today, that vision has grown into a 115-acre nursery employing more than 50 people and shipping trees, shrubs, and perennials nationwide.

Dan’s path to horticulture was unconventional. After early work in construction and garbage routes, he discovered his passion through Utah State University’s ornamental horticulture program. That experience led to decades in the nursery industry, where he learned every facet of the business before starting Highland Meadow.

More than a nursery, Dan built a community grounded in honesty, hard work, and creating value for customers and employees alike.
