Native Plant Nurseries

This guide identifies reputable nurseries across the United States and Canada that specialize in native and locally adapted plants. Its goal is to help conservation organizations, restoration practitioners, and homeowners locate reliable sources for plants grown from local or regional genotype seed stock whenever possible.

Native Plant Nursery Guide

Scope

Entries are organized by region, listing each nursery with:

  • Name and location
  • Ecoregion(s) served
  • Propagation focus or specialty (trees, prairie plants, shrubs, aquatic species, etc.)
  • Website or contact link

This format supports restoration planning and regional sourcing, helping ensure that planting material reflects the natural diversity of local plant communities.

How to Use This Guide

Start by exploring nurseries in your own ecoregion or adjacent regions. Many nurseries ship within regional zones, and several provide seed-grown plants or custom propagation for habitat projects. Always confirm genetic origin and source location before ordering for restoration or conservation use.
