Canadian Territories Nurseries
This section of the Native Plant Nursery Guide includes sources and resources related to native plants in Canada’s northern territories. Because of the extreme climates and specialized ecosystems of the Arctic and subarctic, restoration and conservation work often relies on research institutions, seed collection programs, and small-scale local propagation efforts. Whenever possible, confirm genetic origin and source location before ordering or collecting plant material.
