Maryland

Chesapeake Natives
"Our passion is to give you in the Chesapeake Watershed a chance to have plants from our watershed growing in your own yards. In return, we gain funds for the research, education, and conservation work we do. All our seeds are descendants of plants truly native to the Chesapeake Watershed, primarily from the piedmont and coastal plain. We offer our plants only to those who plan to garden within the watershed because we are fighting to keep plants native to other parts of the United States, and the world, from overpowering our locally native species. We do not want our plants causing the same problems in areas foreign to them."

Clear Ridge Nursery, Inc.
"With over 20 years of experience growing native plants we know our stuff. Whether it’s specimen, reforestation, mitigation, conservation, or contract grows, our plant material is native and locally grown so we know that it will transplant into any project."

Herring Run Nursery
"Herring Run Nursery is a non-profit nursery operated by Blue Water Baltimore that specializes in selling native plants grown in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Nursery offers more than 250 native species of trees, shrubs, vines, flowers, and plants to both retail and wholesale customers."

Lauren’s Garden Service Native Plant Nursery
"We carry a variety of locally grown herbaceous perennials, vines, shrubs, and trees. Our goal is to be a resource for native plant enthusiasts!

We love to share our passion for supporting pollinators with responsible and sustainable gardening practices.

Virginia

Beloved Brook Natives
"All of our native forbs, grasses, and vines are local ecotype with seeds, plugs, cuttings, and divisions ethically sourced from the Piedmont Uplands (64c) ecoregion. Our trees and shrubs are grown from seedlings produced by the Virginia Department of Forestry."

Earth Sangha Wild Plant Nursery
"The use of local ecotypes is a standard best practice in ecological restoration because that helps to safeguard genetic diversity and local adaptation in the species planted. The nursery is currently working with about 340 species, some uncommon or rare in the wild in this region. For many of these species, our nursery is the DC area’s only source of production — local ecotype or otherwise."

The Nursery at Garden Gate
"Over 125 varieties of Virginia native plants. The Nursery at Garden Gate is a native plant nursery. I do not dig plants from the wild. I do collect some local seed, these will be noted. I grow many from seed; and purchase bareroot and plugs for the remainder."

Hill House Farm & Nursery
"We are dedicated to growing high-quality native plants for gardens, landscape restoration projects and habitat creation. The plants we offer are chosen for their aesthetic qualities, their durability, their vigor, and their wildlife benefits. We sell only our own nursery-grown plants that come from seed or division, or are propagated vegetatively—never wild-collected."

Hummingbird Hill Native Plant Nursery
"A retail nursery located in the heart of Free Union, Virginia. We offer a large selection of quality container grown native plants including wildflowers, ferns, shrubs, grasses and vines for the mid-Atlantic region."

Mid Atlantic Native Plant Farm
"We grow plants native to the north east focusing on the Chesapeake Bay watershed and eastern seaboard. The native trees, shrubs and perennials including grasses, wetland plants, and wildflowers propagated from seed, division and cuttings and grown at our nursery."

Reedy Creek Environmental
"Created in 2016 to address the scarcity of native plants of local ecotype in the metro Richmond, VA area. It is clearly beneficial to grow native plants that are 'as local as possible'. Members of the metro Richmond community will now be able to buy plants derived from seeds of known origin from Reedy Creek Environmental. In most cases, plant sources will be identified by watershed, ecoregion, and county/city and will be derived from healthy populations within 50 miles of Richmond."

Wood Thrush Natives
"Our nursery is dedicated to discovering, growing, and promoting rare and unusual plants that are native to the Appalachian region. These plants are the foundation of the ecosystems that give us clean air and water while also supporting all the birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife that enrich our lives and on which we ultimately depend. They are our heritage, surviving the ancient glaciers, used and appreciated for generations by Native Americans and early colonists, grown by us, and planted by you into your garden."
