Who are we and Why buy Cacti & Succulents from us?
"We" are Lynn-Marie Kara and Luther Sturtevant of Portland, Oregon.
Lynn-Marie, who attended the University of Oregon, is an artist working in a variety of mediums, including the protrayal of Haworthia kingiana shown here. Her works have ranged from small scale portrayals of Oregon native wildflowers to a series of portrayals of the children of Auschwitz. Her works have been exhibited at the University of Oregon, Willamette University and at several Yom Hashoah events. She also illustrated The Art of the Scythians: The Interpenetration of Cultures at the Edge of the Hellenic World by Esther Jacobson and published by E.J. Brill, and co-illustrated The Deer Goddess of Ancient Siberia, also by Esther Jacobson.
Luther is a graduate of Lewis & Clark College (Philosophy) and Drew University (Theology) and is a retired United Methodist Pastor. He has been deeply committed to issues relating to children and youth, volunteering on the County Commission on Children and Youth and through membership in Stand for Children. He has helped out in the nursery in the past, while Lynn-Marie has done most of the potting, propogating and watering. He's now working on developing this web site and helping out more in the nursery.
We live with our miniature horse, Ladybug, our Belgian Tervuren puppy, Osita, and our cat, Purr-Purr, in an area of Portland called University Park, not far from the University of Portland. Our horse and dog regularly accompany us on our morning trips to one of the local coffee shops.
We are a small nursery and, to put it simply, just try harder. Each plant gets our personal care and we're small enough that no plant gets lost in the jungle (or desert!). And we stand behind what we sell.
We know it's a cliché, but this website is still under development, as we are not having some professional do it for us. To make it easier for you to shop for plants, we hope to have a shopping cart up in the not too distant future. Please notify us of any problems with the web site.
Ladybug, Osita & Purr-Purr, along with our many satisfied customers over the years, will vouch for us. Give us a try. We think you'll be pleased.
