Contained Exuberance – my new storefront in Portland, OR

A business is always an evolving endeavor, and I am excited to announce a new dimension of Hyland Garden Design, called Contained Exuberance. I will be opening a branded retail location in inner SE Portland in early June, 2013, at 1114 SE Clay St. (corner of SE 11th Ave. and 1 block south of Hawthorne Blvd.)

I’m returning to my retail roots after moving to fabulous Portland and closing down Loomis Creek Nursery in Hudson, NY, in 2010. Unlike the nursery with thousands of plants to propagate and groom for sale, Contained Exuberance will be more “contained” – at least that’s my hope! I will carry a selection of modern-inspired containers and pre-planted pots with an emphasis on low-water use.

I’m excited to be sharing the retail location with Xera Plants – a diminutive but power-packed Tualatin, OR, wholesale nursery that, for the past 13 years has sold adventurous and uncommon plants to designers. Xera Plants will continue to grow in Tualatin and serve wholesale customers from the greenhouses, but starting June 6, 2013 will have their own Xera-only retail shop as well.

I look forward to meeting gardeners and “potting up” new relationships.

Watch for details on the store opening.
