ABOUT US
We are a small, family-run nursery located in a rural community in the mountains of western North Carolina (about 40 minutes outside of Asheville). We specialize in growing plants native to the southeast and their unique cultivars. These include woodland perennials, grasses, ferns, and native pollinator plants. We also grow and sell unusual and uncommon non-native and non-invasive ornamental plants that are adapted to southeastern gardens. All of our plants are nursery propagated (never wild harvested) and sustainably and organically grown.
We love when people are interested in our plants, and we are always happy to answer questions about the cultivation of native plants, but since we are a home nursery, we are not currently open to the public. However, check our Markets and Festivals tab to see where you can catch up with us in the Asheville area!
