Native Plants

Native plants are those that occurred in North America before European settlement, and which have evolved to perform well in our specific climate, soils and temperatures. Natives are becoming an increasingly popular way to incorporate environmental consciousness into our lives.

Our native plant selection typically averages around 300 varieties - we care deeply about providing plants that support our environment and especially pollinators. The majority of the native plants we sell can be found naturally growing in the WNC area, but we have also included a few plants native to our general Eastern US region. Our natives are all seeded or propagated here at the greenhouse with the exception of some shrubs and trees from local nurseries.
