Rows of young cedar saplings at Cedar Plot Homestead

A small nursery for a big, slow-growing idea.

We grow native western red cedar and companion plants, and we help neighbors turn a spare quarter-acre into a garden plot that actually feeds them. No gimmicks — just good soil, patient plants, and plain advice.

Welcome to the Plot

Cedar Plot Homestead sits on twelve acres outside Concrete, Washington, where we've spent the last sixteen years figuring out what actually grows well here — and helping other people figure out the same thing on their own land, however small it is.

We started as a two-person operation growing cedar seedlings for windbreaks and property lines. Somewhere along the way, neighbors started asking us to help plan their garden plots too — where to put the raised beds, how to deal with the clay soil, which native shrubs would actually survive the deer. We said yes enough times that it became half the business.

Soil & Site Consulting

Straightforward, on-site advice on drainage, amendments, and rotation — the unglamorous work that decides whether anything actually grows.

"We asked Dale and Marta to help us plan a plot behind the barn we'd been avoiding for years. Eighteen months later it's the most productive corner of our property, and the cedar windbreak they planted is already taller than the fence." — a neighbor down the road
