LAST CALL 🌿 New for 2026: "Right Plant, Right Place" Plant Kits
Exclusively for our Pennsylvania Neighbors!

Love the idea of a native garden but don’t have the time to research? We’ve done the heavy lifting for you. Our new NATIVE PLANT KITS are "plug-and-play" solutions designed specifically for Pennsylvania’s unique climate and soil.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THEM:
* PA-Hardy: 15 native plants grouped to thrive in our local environment (5 species, 3 of each).
* Zero Guesswork: Full-season blooms from spring through fall—all planned out for you.
* Simple "Pop & Drop": Just follow the included diagram. One kit covers about a 12x6' area.
* Scalable: For larger spaces, tile multiple kits together like wallpaper for a beautiful, pollinator-friendly pattern.

FIND YOUR PERFECT MATCH:
Note: These kits are currently available for Pennsylvania residents only for $49.95 each, plus applicable sales tax.

*Check the Light: Watch your garden for a day. Does it get 6+ hours of direct sun, 3–6 hours, or mostly shade?
*Test the Soil: Dig a small hole and grab a handful of dirt.
--Dry: The soil falls apart and won’t form a ball.
--Wet: The soil clumps easily or holds water long after it rains.
--Still Unsure? We’re here to help! Reach out and we’ll find the right fit for your PA yard.

Order now and pick up & pay on April 27-May 3. Let us know what date/time works best for you.

Kits come with 15 plug-sized plants, a laminated plant details & garden design card, and a push stick to aid in removing the plugs from their tray.

UPDATED QUANTITIES ON 4/23/26

We are busy removing protective frost cloths and waking up our plants, which are grown in sync with nature—not in a greenhouse. I always get so excited seeing those pops of green break through the dormancy. Message us for our Spring availability—both retail and wholesale. All plants are chemical free and pollinator safe! The nursery officially opens April 10.
