We grow plants that are native to this PA ecoregion because they thrive here with very little input. Adapted to our local conditions, they typically need less water and maintenance, and most are naturally deer resistant. Our native species are perfect for gardeners who want to enjoy a beautiful landscape without much expense and fuss, while attracting pollinators, butterflies, and birds.

Most of our plants are first-season seedlings that do not flower in their first year, but are focusing their energy on building strong roots before blooms. Planting them now gives them time to establish and helps them settle in. leading to healthier plants, better flowering in future seasons, and greater long-term resilience.
