Why choose native plants?

Life sustaining, diverse and ecologically important. Native plants are uniquely adapted to thrive and survive weather, soil and growing conditions found within the ecosystems of our gardens and farms. These provide food, nesting, and cover for wildlife, especially pollinators. Choose a local native plant nursery.

Building Sustainable Plant Communities

Located near Bangor, Maine our small native plant nursery is dedicated to growing and selling ethically sourced and hand tended native plants, shrubs, trees and native seeds.

Oh...and, yes, our plants have bugs!

Bees, butterflies and other wonderful beneficial pollinators are often found on our native plants.
