Our Story

Welcome to Wispy Willows Nursery, a small backyard nursery nestled in the heart of Big Pine, California, in the beautiful Owens Valley. What started as a passion for growing our own food has blossomed into a nursery dedicated to sharing healthy, organically nurtured plants with our community.

We take pride in our curated collection of vegetable starts, herbs, flowers, and more — all grown with care for robust growth and abundant harvests.

Our Philosophy

We believe in working with nature, not against it. That means building healthy soil, encouraging beneficial insects, and growing plants that thrive in our high-desert climate. No synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers — just good soil, good water, and a lot of care.

Why Local Matters

Every plant we sell is started right here in Big Pine, acclimated to our elevation (3,990 feet), our alkaline soils, and our unique growing conditions. When you buy from Wispy Willows, you're getting plants that are ready to thrive in your garden — not shipped across the country from a warehouse.
