Our Nursery

A Brief Video Tour

We produce healthy, vigorous native plants, grown by horticulturists.
Many of the species are rarely offered by other nurseries and are difficult to find in cultivation.
All of our plants are nursery-propagated (either on site, or from other licensed growers).
We do not collect plant material from the wild. We use various propagation methods and prioritize seed production to encourage genetic diversity.
Our plants are safe for insects, birds, and other wildlife. We never use systemic, neonicotinoid, or organophosphate pesticides.
We rarely use any form of pesticide, with the exception of occasional organic pesticides. We use a limited amount of fertilizer in our production.
We happily take back and re-use our pots to limit plastic waste.
We do not utilize artificial growth hormones. Our plants grow at a natural pace. This, combined with prioritizing strong roots, allows our plants to adapt to your garden with little ‘transplant shock’.

Our detailed signage focuses on the role the plants play in the ecosystem, and tells you each plant’s cultural needs and characteristics.
We have plant lists for specific situations, such as juglans tolerant, salt tolerant and more.
Our grounds help you see how native plants behave in a garden setting.
