History
Native Grounds was originally established as the Mt Shasta Nursery by the Sander's family in the 1930's.The family's dwelling was the small rock house that still sits at the heart of the nursery in the center of the driveway. In 1979, the Sponsler family purchased the business and owned and operated it until 2000, when Terez Maniatis and Lori Oliver bought it in partnership. With Terez and Lori's extensive design and landscape background, the Mt Shasta Nursery was updated and renamed Native Grounds Nursery & Garden Center. Little pieces of history can still be found all over the property such as the original windmill that served as the property's first well. Also, an over 90 year old wisteria vine. The vine has continued to grow to the very top of a 100 ft pine tree. The profusion of beautiful wisteria flowers is quite a site in the early spring months. Native Grounds is proud of the rich history that adds so much character to its already beautiful surroundings.
