Robin and David Prchal, along with their partners Jerry and Janie Milbrandt, opened Emerald Desert Nursery in 1999 to provide landscapers and other wholesale customers with top quality products, personal service, in-depth knowledge, and nursery stock perfectly suited to the growing area.

Shortly after opening, local customers, noticing the variety and quality of the trees and plants, soon began asking for retail access to them. While still focused on the needs of wholesale customers, they now provide the same detailed, knowledgeable assistance to retail customers too. The impeccable nursery is laid out to easily browse and locate products. We also offer experienced landscaping assistance, from suggesting the best tree or shrub for a certain area to assisting with a landscape plan or potting your annuls. Schedule a consultation or fill out our custom potting services form to get something unique created for your space.

All lifelong residents of the Columbia Basin area, David, Robin, Jerry and Janie are very knowledgeable about their products and the region. Robin, who manages the nursery, is a WSU graduate and certified Master Gardener with an agricultural background and long-time interest in plants and landscaping. David and Jerry are farmers with more than 25 years of experience growing crops in the Columbia Basin’s unique growing region. Jerry and Janie are owners of Milbrandt Vineyards, the largest grape grower in Washington state for the wine industry.
