Thank you for choosing native plants grown by our small acreage diversified farm, Bas Rouge Farm & Forge of Orono, Maine. We truly appreciate you as our customer and understand that there are other options for purchasing plants, whether from a native or a traditional plant nursery. We are glad you are here! 

At Bas Rouge Farm & Forge, we propagate by seed, division, cuttings of plants grown in our nursery and our farm. We also purchase plugs from a reputable grower. Our plants are never wild collected. It may also interest you to know that our farm grows native plants, shrubs, trees and seeds that are free of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and neonicotinoids using organic methods. In short, our plants are pollinator safe & friendly!!

Plant Information is specific to the native specimens we grow here in our nursery. Some of the information is researched or compiled from reliable sources including the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Native Plant Trust Go Botany, and our own thorough observations when propagating, growing and harvesting in our Zone 5a garden. 

The native plants listed are currently in our 2023 inventory. Some are not yet market ready but will be as the season progresses. If you are interested something not on our list, or if you have questions about a plant purchase from our nursery, please contact us.
