History

Tory Galloway started Piriformis in 1998 specializing in drought tolerant plants. It has been a nursery ever since and has seen four names and 5 owners. The new owner continues on with the name Urban Earth and picks up where the previous owner, Susan, left off. The nursery historically provides a diversity of drought tolerant plants, unusual plants, and plants that do well in our climate and are appropriate sizes for urban gardens.

The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful! They have the best vibe, really chill, and good products at fair prices. We are very happy with our mojito mint and hope to be back soon for a happy little blueberry plant to add to our blueberry friends in the garden. Thank you so much!
