Welcome to our Native Plant Nursery

Nestled in the small town of Walkerton, our Native Plant Nursery has provided millions of native plants and seeds for restoration projects over the 25 years they have been operating. Assisting with large restoration, mitigation, and landscape projects, our native material has been used on thousands of acres of land throughout the Midwest.

Our nursery team of trained professionals produces a range of native plant materials and seed programs to improve and restore terrains on projects of all sizes. They’re familiar with landscape architecture and design, agronomy, botany, and natural resources management and work with landscape architects, designers, land managers, and contractors to select and provide appropriate plant materials to meet project needs.

Our team has assisted the US Army Corp of Engineers, Departments of Transportation, Departments of Natural Resources, energy companies, not-for-profits, and more with native plant materials and creative landscaping solutions that help better our communities.

Clients who need assistance in overcoming challenging sites can rely on our Native Plant Nursery team for support with planning, design, material costing, and natural solution options.
