                      What we grow                       

    Virginia natives! We grow species that are adapted to the climate and soils that naturally occur in Virginia.

      Most of our plants are in deep 1 quart pots or larger.  We use deep pots to encourage strong root development and healthy plants.
       
           We are happy to help you decide which species are best suited to your site and to help plan your native planting!



               How we grow it                     
​
We use organic, natural growing methods so our plants are safe for the environment, people, and visiting pollinators, butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, and other wildlife. We use no sprays or chemicals on our plants.
​
Our plants are nursery propagated. We do not collect plants from the wild. Please visit our nursery to purchase plants. We don't ship.

What's Available

Why grow natives?

Pollinator and wildlife populations have declined drastically due to loss of habitat and native plants. By adding natives to our landscapes, we can help make a difference for their survival. Together we can sustain a healthy, happy environment for humans, pollinators, birds and all wildlife!

Many native plants produce showy flowers, abundant fruits and seeds, brilliant fall foliage and winter interest. 

Virginia natives are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions here. Unlike many non-native garden plants, natives provide nectar, pollen, and seeds that serve as food for wildlife. Plants that evolved here in Virginia are food for animals that evolved here in Virginia.

Natives can be used everywhere in your landscape. They are appropriate for both small and large gardens, native meadows and both open woodlands and shaded woodlands. Native plants are found in all soil types and in all habitat types here in Virginia. We aim to offer plants that can grow anywhere and do so beautifully!
