Owner Bernie operates this nursery in her back yard beside her husband’s native seed company - Wildlands Restoration. They’re great people and Bernie can take contract grow-outs. She propagates her plants in extra deep pots which encourage deeper root growth and greater success in survival rates. This is not typically a retail business.
