What we do:
Our mission is to provide you with exceptional plants selected for their
beauty, wildlife benefits and ease of growing. In offering these
plants to you we strive to educate you as to their uses, benefits to
wildlife and beauty so that you may make informed decisions when
landscaping your own backyard habitat. In choosing these plants,
whether you are tackling a complete landscape restoration project or
supplementing plantings in your own backyard, you are increasing the
habitat diversity, preserving native plant species and attracting wildlife
to your landscape.

Why we
do it:
We began our business in 2003 because of our love of collecting and
growing plants and our desire to preserve and restore our native
landscapes. We purchased an old farm in 2000 that was overrun with
introduced invasives such as garlic mustard, tree of heaven, Japanese
honeysuckle and mulitflora rose. In addition, in our previous
careers as environmental educator and biologist we witnessed the
destruction of native landscapes across the country caused by the
unintended consequences of the introduction of exotic plants. Our
struggle with eradicating these invasives on our own property and
witnessing whole landscapes covered by kudzu, oriental bittersweet, purple
loosestrife and miscanthus led us to the decision to provide only native
plants that benefit wildlife in order to promote landscape restoration
whether it be on a large landscape restoration project or in a small
backyard.
