Spring Creek Gardens

What Spring Creek Gardens does

Spring Creek Gardens is a wholesale bedding plant nursery founded in 1984 and headquartered at 91045 River Rd., Junction City, Oregon. The company grows and distributes flowering bedding plants, vegetables, herbs, pre-planted containers, and hanging baskets on a wholesale-only basis to mid-sized and larger retailers, independent garden centers, and professional landscapers across Oregon and Southwest Washington. Core growing practices center on sustainability: written policies prohibiting genetically modified seed/plant starts and neonicotinoid pesticides, biological pest control using beneficial insects as the primary defense, aggressive reuse and recycling of nursery containers and greenhouse plastic, and an Energy Trust of Oregon partnership that installed root-zone heating systems to reduce ambient greenhouse temperatures and energy use. Products are contract-grown to retailer specifications, with orders placed through an online ordering system or by phone and fulfilled via the company's own delivery fleet operating along the I-5 corridor, into eastern Oregon (Bend, Redmond, Prineville), and along the entire Oregon coastline — most regions receiving twice-weekly service. The company is family-owned across three generations, with founders Brent and Becky Skiles transitioning leadership to daughter Renee Skiles and active third-generation family members.
