Windswept Gardens

Japanese Maple and Pine Nursery. Top products: Japanese Maples, Pines, Character-rich ornamental trees. Windswept Gardens, located on Fox Island, Washington, is a specialty tree nursery focused on the cultivation and artistic shaping of Japanese Maples and Pine trees. Unlike standard retail nurseries, the business specializes in 'living works of art'—specimens that have been meticulously pruned and trained to exhibit unique character, movement, and natural elegance. Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese pruning techniques and the resilient forms found in nature, such as coastal pines, the nursery provides high-end, distinctive trees for landscaping, patios, and residential outdoor spaces. Owner Bob operates the nursery with an emphasis on education, offering guided tours to help customers understand the pruning process and select appropriate specimens for their specific landscape vision. The business serves retail customers seeking to move beyond standard, upright nursery stock in favor of mature, uniquely shaped plants. The nursery is open to the public by appointment and during limited Saturday hours in June.
