Columbia Nursery LLC was founded by Wayne Staehely in 2005.  Wayne grew up in the Canby, OR area, and has always had a great passion for agriculture, but more specifically, nursery stock.  After years of working in retail and managing wholesale nurseries, he made his dreams of owning and operating his own nursery a reality.  He currently takes great pride in his talent for propagating rare plant material, creating a beautiful product, and his overall knowledge of plants. 

He currently resides in Canby with his wife, Amanda, and their three children on the nursery.  He is constantly looking for the best cultivars of plant species to add to a landscape.
