Native Plant Nursery

My plants are grown from sustainably sourced seed, cuttings, divisions, and sometimes plugs. I try and source KY ecotype if possible. I do not use any pesticides, which means they are safe for pollinators and consumption. Often nurseries and big box stores do not know if their plants have been treated with neonicitinoid pesticides or not. If you purchase plants with systemic pesticides, they will harm pollinators.

Nearly all of my plants are straight species. Sometimes I may have some cultivars of plants because I believe they are useful. For example Tall Phlox ‘Jeana’ is actually more attractive to pollinators than the straight species (ref. Mt Cuba Center). Some cultivars also have better disease resistance.

Sometimes I offer some non-native plants because they’re still beneficial for wildlife, or just treasured garden plants. I never offer invasive plants.

I use all natural and some certified organic products to grow my plants.

Most of the pots I use have been repurposed to cut down on plastic going into the landfill. I can reuse certain size pots (1 gallon, 4″ tall pots, quarts). Please contact me ahead and time if you have pots and do not drop off pots that are not this size. I do not have trash pick up at my location and cannot cart off unneeded pots.
