Tualatin River Nursery |
|
Project: Informational web site Challenge: Create a look and feel that reflects the organic gardening philosophy of the Tualatin River Nursery. WWD Solution: WWD disconnected the old Tualatin River Nursery website which had been a “one-size-fits all” solution provided by a national plant distributor to many of its garden center customers.

WWD created a custom web site for Tualatin River Nursery that reflects their down to earth, organic gardening specialty. Earth tone colors were used to bring out the natural feel of the nursery and café and convey the message “An Oasis for Hungry Gardeners”. |
