Native Species in our Nursery

Please Note: We are currently growing our inventory from seeds and vegetative cuttings. The goal is to produce a majority of our plants from local and regional provenance. This will take a number of years to achieve. In the meantime, we will be supplementing with plants of Vermont and New England native species that have been sourced from other nurseries. If you have any questions about this, please let us know!
