ABOUT THIS NURSERY
If you are into gardening, you care about the environment. We're here to help you provide habitat, with native plants for you to buy, and tips on their care. We sell selected other plants as well. We never use pesticides. You can trust our plants to be chemical-free. We're located in the Amish country in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

PLANTS FOR THE PLANET
Gardens are important for wildlife habitat these days, as other habitats become more threatened. (For a wonderful book on the importance of gardens for saving species, see "Bringing Nature Home" by Doug Tallamy.)

YOUR GARDEN
If you have a new yard with nothing growing, we suggest using mostly all natives. They are easy and beautiful, and you'll be rewarded with birds and butterflies. But if your landscape has plantings already growing, chances are you will be adding to what you have. We offer natives to add. We are not saying rip out your peonies or don't plant any exotics. Just be conscious and avoid invasives. (Those of us who planted them before we knew better wound up with problems!)

DIVERSITY OF NATIVES KEY FOR WILDLIFE
The more different kinds of native plants you have, the better. Add, replace, expand. With many different natives, you'll attract and provide the food, shelter, and conditions for many species of wildlife. Your garden will be balanced, beautiful and interesting.

BIRDS HELP KEEP IT BALANCED
What is a garden without the beauty and motion of birds? Give them places to nest, a water source if possible, and plants for seeds and berries, and especially insects. In North America, 96% of songbirds raise their young on insects. And the insects the young birds need live almost exclusively on native plants. So if you want birds raising babies in your backyard, plant natives!
