Native Plants

 

Native wildflowers and grasses are propagated from seed collected on the Allegheny Plateau.  We follow Maryland Native Plant Society guidelines.  Check our species list for available plants and prices.  We'll be having several open house events at our native plant nursery.  Or look for us at the following native plant events and festivals in 2008.  Dates will be added throughout the year.  In the event of an unforeseen schedule change we'll promptly update our website.  Feel free to call to confirm a date, especially if you are making a special trip.
