Business In Bloom

Molbak’s Garden + Home attracts customers from all over the Pacific Northwest to their nursery, specialty shop, and café in the heart of Woodinville. The family-owned business has been a beloved destination for gardeners and home décor enthusiasts since its founding in 1956. Over the years and through the support of the community, Molbak’s has grown into a sprawling garden center and home goods store, offering an extensive selection of plants, gardening tools, home decor, and gifts. With a reputation for exceptional quality and service, the company has remained committed to its core values of sustainability, community, and innovation, blooming as a leader in the industry.

Turning Point Strategic Advisors recently had the pleasure of partnering with Molbak’s Garden + Home to work alongside their CEO, Julie Kouhia. Having joined the company in 2006 as COO, and in her last eight years as CEO, Julie has reimagined and, in some cases, redefined, the traditional business model. Her vigor and enthusiasm inspires the team to be passionate about the Molbak’s culture. She knows every employee by name, and her mission for connection trickles down in a way that allows Molbak’s staff to create a memorable experience for the garden center’s customers.

For over 65 years, Molbak’s Garden + Home has been helping add more color, community, and joy to lives by nurturing a connection to plants, the earth, and the seasons. They offer a bustling event calendar with seminars, live demonstrations, and activities for all ages, and Master Gardeners are on site to answer questions every Saturday from 10am-1pm all summer long.

“In nature nothing exists alone.” - Rachel Carson. At Turning Point, we are grateful to have been connected to Julie and the whole team at Molbak’s.
