about
Calendula Farm
who we are
Tacoma’s all-in-one art studio, plant shop, and landscape company
At our core, we are plant-loving, dirt worshipping, tree-hugging artists, and general contractors who love creating gorgeous and functional outdoor living spaces for other humans to enjoy.

she’s the sensible one here
Alina keeps us on the straight and narrow and can simultaneously move two tons of rock, expand the hearts of everyone she knows, and raise two teenagers.
what we do
we’re specialists in artful outdoor living
We do many things and all of them involve creating beautiful and healthful enhancements to life in South Puget Sound. We grow plants for use in landscape projects and for sale to home gardeners, we create beautiful and functional environments for artful outdoor living, and we make herbal products for a healthy body.
We think life is a grand adventure. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new. We like to engage all of our senses, as much and as often as possible. We invite you to join in the fun!
Grow & Sell Interesting Plants
Edible, medicinal, and unusual plants are our passion. Visit us at the Proctor Farmers Market or at the nursery in the summer to see our unique selection of plants.
Create Beautiful Landscapes & Hardscapes
We let our creative juices flow to design and install beautiful front or back yard landscapes, build trellises for your plants, and build beautiful stone and flagstone patios.
Create Art from the plants we grow
From our garden to your home, seasonal wreaths and flower arrangements bring a touch of the outdoors in. Our natural decorations include more than just flowers!
