We are celebrating being in business for
30 years in 2010! Raymond Laclergue started the nursery in 1980 behind
the fence in back. Intermountain Nursery has operated in the Central
California Sierra foothills since then when Raymond Laclergue purchased a
small bedding plant nursery in Prather, California. Operating on about 5
acres, the nursery has evolved through the years to become the only grower
of California Native Plants in the Central Valley area. There are over ten
demonstration gardens on the grounds with a self guided tour highlighting
native plants and other drought tolerant plants which are appropriate for
growing in a Mediterranean climate. Nursery staff grows all our own
bedding plants and container stock except some shade and fruit trees. We are
committed to providing plants that are grown in a sustainable way without
the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Located along Little Sandy
and Big Sandy Creeks at 1700' elevation, the site has deep alluvial
soils and cool night temperatures that provide a perfect location to grow plants
that will become established at various locations, from the Valley floor to
10,000 ft. elevation.
We are located 30 miles
Northeast of Fresno, California on State Highway #168 on the way to Shaver
and Huntington Lakes. Check out the map on this website for directions from your location,
or call at
559-855-3113 during operating days. We are open
seven days a week. Hours are 8am - 5pm on every day except Sunday which is 10am -
4pm.
