Quick Start - Sourcing Native Plants
Where to buy plants
Visit a local nursery to browse native plants you'd like to choose for your garden.
Online nurseries will ship native plants or seeds. NOTE: Be sure that your are ordering plants native to the Northeast.
Some online nurseries and landscape designers also sell pollinator plant packs.
Native-friendly landscape architects can provide design and procure plants at the right time for planting.
