R&M Plant
Procurement, LLC is a wholesale plant broker servicing the Pacific Northwest. R&M works with landscapers, contractors and designers assisting in the procurement and delivery of all their plant needs, big or small. This allows our clients more available
time to design, bid, sell and install jobs while increasing production and profitability.
R&M is a locally
owned business that delivers quality plant material for residential and
commercial jobs. Our nursery and sales office is located in Salem, Oregon.
Offering free delivery into Southwest
Washington, the Portland Metro area and surrounding suburbs, the Willamette Valley,
the Oregon Coast
and Central Oregon.
The business
was started in 2003 as a way to bring quality plant material to
Landscapers, Contractors and Landscape Designers.
The concept for the business was a result of prompting by long
time friend and expert designer, Tina Miller. Tina had insisted that
there was a need in the market for a company that could not only source
plant materials, but deliver them as well. It was a quick discovery that
Tina had been absolutely right about the need for us!
R&M is owned by Rachel Ralstin. She enjoys having the ability to help other
companies run more efficiently while sharing her love of plants and maintaining high quality standards. As
well as being able to offer steady employment and living wages to her amazing
employees.
Rachel Ralstin has over 28 years experience in the horticulture field,
mainly in sales but not limited to production, inventory and grading with
extensive knowledge in perennials, natives, groundcovers, shrubs and trees. Rachel handles most
of the sales and sourcing (by phone and field) of the plant material. “It’s always been a dream of mine to own my own
business in the nursery industry, providing excellent service to my
customers and excellent working conditions for my employees.” - Rachel Ralstin
Our team has gained most of their experience of nursery stock by hands
on experience, and has been the driving
force behind R&M - literally! All of our team members come from varied backgrounds but not necessarily in plants. Since the
beginning they have a keen eye for detail
and insistence upon perfection that has made them experts in identifying,
selecting, grading, handling and transporting nursery stock. Our team is always insuring that
every plant is correctly labeled, loaded and safely delivered.
