For Gardening Sophisticates
Kentucky natives
We are very excited to have recently started carrying a few locally grown, straight Kentucky native flowers, vines, starter-size trees, and shrubs
Kentucky natives are outstanding for pollinators, wildlife, beauty, hardiness, budget, the ecosystem, and they support local growers!
Our native wildflowers are perennials, and will be stocked somewhat seasonally by bloom time, but stop by to see what's here at anytime, and feel free to order what you need that we may not have yet. Most are sold in quart pots, with a few in 1 gallon pots. Our calendar of events will also be helpful in letting you know when we anticipate certain species to arrive.
We carry a few Kentucky native shade trees and understory trees, including nut and berry producing trees in starter-sized 1 gallon and 2 gallon pots. Our calendar of events will also be helpful in letting you know when we anticipate certain species to arrive, but please feel free to stop by to check our inventory and we also welcome you to order anything that you need and we'll do our best to get them for you from local growers.
We carry a few Kentucky native shrubs and small understory trees, including nut and berry producing shrubs in starter-sized 1 gallon and 2 gallon pots. Our calendar of events will also be helpful in letting you know when we anticipate certain species to arrive, but please feel free to stop by to check our inventory and we also welcome you to order anything that you need and we'll do our best to get them for you from local growers.
Most of our native flowers come in pint and quart pots, while the trees and shrubs are primarily in starter-sized 1 gallon and 2 gallon pots. These sizes are easy to transport home and easy to plant.
Their growers (all local!) focus on producing plants with great roots, so they should establish in your yard quickly and easily.
We will carry different natives throughout the growing season, so please stop in to check availability.
You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram and our e-newsletter for updates.
