We know your time is valuable so here's a "thumbnail sketch" of who we are.

  • We are: WESTVIEW FARMS, LLC Perennials & Herbs
  • Our Motto: OUR PLANTS GROW
  • Family owned independent retail nursery & garden center.
  • Opened to the public in 1983.
  • In our humble opinion: we offer one of the finest selections of high quality perennials, herbs, ornamental grasses, ferns, vines specialty shrubs and native plants in South Western Michigan <find us!>
  • We also feature garden related gifts and merchandise and provide a range of professional landscape services.
  • True personalized service, expert advice and information.

O.K. Those are the "facts".... Pared down and even kind of dry. But if you'll bear with us while we indulge in a bit of "philosophy," we'll let you know what we think makes WESTVIEW FARMS Perennials & Herbs unique, worthy of a visit, and why we can say "OUR PLANTS GROW."

 

Our Philosophy:

GARDENING SHOULD BE FUN, RELAXING AND REWARDING. Otherwise, what's the point?

So we think it follows that visiting a nursery/garden center should also be FUN, RELAXING AND REWARDING!

WESTVIEW's News!

Lee Ver Schure spoke at the Holland Horticulture Club in March to an enthusiastic group of gardeners!

EDIBLES IN THE LANDSCAPE!!! was the subject Tuesday evening, March 20th at the DeGraaf Nature Center.

Participants learned all about this ‘Green’ trend in landscaping as member/speaker - our own Lee Ver Schure – introduced and highlighted an array of fascinating “dual purpose”, “ornamental edible” plants and shared various tips on their placement and culture. 

The nature center is the regular winter gathering place for the horticulture club and a great place to visit to see birds, wildflowers, and other fauna. The DeGraaf Nature Center is "just up the road" from our nursery at 600 Graafschap Road on Holland's south side. The center offers many fascinating programs throughout the year. Visit DeGraff Nature Center virtually at www.degraaf.org/  and then do the actual visit soon.

 

We are proud that Lee Ver Schure of WESTVIEW FARMS, LLC is serving on the Horticultural Advisory Board of Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Lee also served as President of the Board of Directors of the West Michigan Nursery and Landscape Association in 2006 - 2007.
