Redwood Barn is a great local nursery that is family owned and has been in town since 1981. Redwood Barn is highly respected locally and its owner, Don Shor, writes a regular gardening column in The Davis Enterprise and contributes to the Sacramento Bee. He also hosts the Davis Garden Show with Lois Richter, Thursdays noon-1 p.m. on Davis' low power station KDRT 95.7 FM (website). If you ever have a gardening problem/question feel free to call the show for a live discussion @ 530.792.1648 or need a plant identified, bring a sample to the Redwood Barn- Don is the man to see! If he can't help you, he can most likely point you in the direction of somebody who can.

Don Shor attended UC Davis, receiving his BS in Environmental Horticulture during the 70s, and has developed Redwood Barn Nursery into a special place for people who like to see new and unusual plants. Redwood Barn provides high quality horticultural advice for the serious gardener, as well as landscape management. Don is a past president of the Superior California Chapter of the California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers and is active in numerous professional and community organizations. Be sure to visit the Redwood Barn website for past articles Don has written on a myriad of plant subjects such as pest/disease control, pruning and planting recommendations.

2007-05-21 13:24:45   This is the only place to go in Davis for high-end plants & truly professional guidance. Others may have more plants, but those will be of the "vanilla" landscaper's variety. Redwood Barn has a terrific variety of special items, including many heirloom veggies. Since Mrs. Basinger closed her nursery on H Street, this is the only show in town. —FreddieOakley
