Specializing in plants native to New York & the Adirondacks

We carry herbaceous perennials, grasses, ferns, groundcovers, and shrubs. We specialize in plants native to New York State and the Adirondack Park that can be used for stream and lakeshore buffers as well as rain gardens.  And of course our plants can also be used for regular landscaping purposes as well!

Don't see what you are looking for? We can make special orders,
or grow in advance - so just let us know what you are looking for.

Planting native plants helps protect New York’s biodiversity by providing food and habitat for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife, as well as assuring that you are not planting an invasive plant! Natives have evolved in our environment over many years, so they are already adapted to survive here and therefore require less fertilizing, pesticides, and watering - which saves you time and money, all while also protecting the environment.  And our native plants come in just about every size, shape, and color - so you can be sure to find something that you will like!
