Learn More About the Native Plant Nursery

The native plants of New Jersey are beautiful, graceful and intricate. They are fundamental to pure water, clean air, and healthy wildlife populations. However, over-development, the deer overpopulation crisis, and invasive non-native plants are causing a collapse in New Jersey’s plant diversity and abundance.
All of our plants are nursery-grown with responsibly collected seed stock from our immediate area. Indigenous to New Jersey, our plants are well-adapted for its ecology. They represent ecotypes and genetic variations specific to the region and thus preserve diversity at the sub-species level.
