Check out these wild strawberries 🍓 foraged from our native Wild Strawberry plants (Fragaria virginiana) growing right here at the Nursery on our New Leaf Forest wildland restoration project! 🌳 While these wild berries are smaller than commercial strawberries you find at a supermarket, their taste is the sweetest you'll ever find for a strawberry! 🍓 Stay tuned in the future where we will sell both these berries and the plants that produce them!

A special visitor landed on our potted Elderberry plants to take a break! 🦋 Check out this large and beautiful Polyphemus Moth, another gorgeous species that requires native plants for its lifecycle, and that is crucial for our food web.

It must be trying to help us advertise our Elderberry plants, because that’s what it landed on. We have a CLEARANCE deal on smaller B Grade Elderberry shrubs for only $5 each‼️👀 These shrubs are much smaller than we’d like, and we are running out of room for them. Plant them in partial or full sun, and watch them rapidly grow once they’re happily established into soil.

A long-overdue facelift is underway on the road frontage of the nursery‼️ Weeds have been cleared from the 30 foot buffer section between our retail section and County Road 46, and they are being replaced by gorgeous ornamental native shrubs, perennials, and small trees! Customers will eventually be greeted by a stunning array of color all year long from the blooms, leaves, berries, and bark colors of our all-native plant display! Just a few of the plants placed here are native ornamental shrubs such as Black Chokeberry, Shrubby St. John's Wort, and Red-Twig Dogwood. So far, some stunning native perennials also placed here are Cardinal Flower, Blue Lobelia, Blue Flag Iris, Swamp Milkweed, Dense Blazing Star, and more!
