This listing is provided for those who wish to buy NC native plants from NC nurseries. Nurseries on our list only sell nursery propagated plants and do not sell any plants listed as Rank 1 on our list of NC invasive exotic plants. Rank 1 plants are those that present the most severe threat to native ecosystems. We take a nursery’s word on compliance with our requirements and have not visited each one for verification.
The websites of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the North Carolina Botanical Garden contain additional lists of native plant nurseries.
While many of these nurseries also sell non-native species, we encourage you to buy only native plants, which helps reduce the likelihood of spreading potentially invasive species. Please note that NCNPS considers all the species on the invasive list—including the so-called “sterile hybrids” of those species—to be invasive. Many supposedly sterile hybrids have proven, through cross-pollination and other means, to be able to produce fruit and spread. In addition, no non-native plant ever provides the full ecological benefit that native plants offer. When you plant a native plant, you support an entire community of native organisms.

I carry a selection of southeastern native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees in sizes from 4” to 3-gallon containers. The nursery is in a residential area and is not currently open to the public.
Sales are conducted by email request of my inventory availability list with several payment options. Plants may be scheduled for delivery or meet to pickup at a mutual location. Smaller plants are available by mail order. Preferred contact is by email or Facebook Messenger as cell phone reception is unreliable out here in the woods.

Unlike most nurseries, we don’t just grow our plants just for their good looks. Wetland Plants Inc. provides native herbaceous wetland plants to be used for ecosystem restoration projects including storm-water ponds and wetlands, bioretention cells, herbaceous riparian wetlands, shoreline erosion control, wastewater wetlands, and habitat improvement.
We grow 70 herbaceous (non-woody) wetland and aquatic species, container grown, of North Carolina, South Carolina, and southeastern Virginia genetic origin, and propagated by seed whenever possible. All are native to the mid-Atlantic and southeastern USA. View our species list and inventory list.

Yemma Farm is a native plant nursery that focuses on growing pollinator plants, heirloom vegetables, and herbs from seed purchased from NCBG, Prairie Moon, and other native pollinator plants sources. I commit to using practices that are free of pesticides and herbicides and instead focus on biodiversity and native plants.
Our focus is education, and we offer workshops to support people in reconnecting with nature, using nature as therapy, and getting kids excited about the outdoors.
