Briggs Nursery was founded in 1912 in Olympia Washington. In 1965, Briggs developed a protocol for tissue culture propagation and has been advancing micropropagation techniques since and eventually built a micropropagation lab. The nursery expanded and moved in 1990 to 400 acres in Elma, Washington, 140 of these acres are currently in production. Along with our tissue culture lab and initiation buildings, Briggs Nursery consists of over 600 greenhouses and acres of open lots where we grow on our hardier plants.
Our corporate philosophy, Quality that Grows™, is derived from our directive to “start clean, stay clean”, and our requirement that all key items used in the production process – from initiation in the lab to the growing range – be free of any pathogens or media that may host potential issues. As a part of our quality assurance, we follow stringent disease prevention and quality control practices, to ensure that our plants are disease-free.
