Native Plant Nursery - Edge of the Woods Native Plant Nursery

Our Nursery

We offer container grown native trees, shrubs, grasses, sedges, ferns, perennial flowers, aquatics, and bog plants.
Whether you are working on a home landscape, woodland, wetland, hedgerow, or rain garden we specialize in helping you match the right plant to the right place.
We grow and provide healthy, vigorous native plants, grown by horticulturists. Many of the species we carry are rarely offered by other nurseries and are difficult to find in cultivation.

We grow as many plants from seed as we can to ensure genetic diversity. Growing plants from seed can be a lengthy process, and can take up to 3 years to produce a plant ready-to-sell. Read more about the value of genetic diversity HERE.
We also use other propagation methods, such as cuttings and division, to propagate certain plants.

We use a minimal amount of synthetic herbicides and insecticides. Our integrated pest management plan prioritizes the health and protection of our local ecosystem, including pollinating insects. All of our plants are safe for visiting bees and other insects. We do not use ‘neo-nics’.
We do not utilize artificial growth hormones. We focus on producing plants with strong, healthy roots. Because we do not use growth hormones or excessive fertilizers, our plants grow at a natural pace. This, combined with the priority of strong roots, allows for our plants to transplant and adapt to your garden easily with very little ‘transplant shock’.

We create our own detailed signage, focusing on the role the plants play in the ecosystem, researching each plant’s cultural needs and indicating its role in the ecosystem. This streamlines your plant selection process!
We have also created numerous plant lists to aid in your selection.
We maintain display gardens on our property to help you see how natives behave in a garden setting. This also gives you a unique experience of seeing many of these species as mature specimens.
Much of our staff’s time involves helping customers learn more about native plants and selecting the right plants for their gardens. We are eager to welcome new customers and happy to help with plant selections and answer your questions to the best of our ability.
Our staff are formerly educated, many with degrees in horticulture or biological sciences. All of our staff are local residents and receive fair wages above industry average.
