Buy Native Plants

We update the plant list weekly on Thursdays during our open season.

All plants for sale this season are:

• included in our 2025 plant list, available to download as a PDF or an Excel document
• sold individually at both Garden in the Woods' and Nasami Farm's Garden Shops during the growing season
• available for pre-order when the current plant list is posted (some exceptions may apply)

Tips for Using Our Plant List

• The Excel version is sortable. For example, if you are looking only for shrubs, sort by category. If you are looking for plugs, sort by size.
• The PDF version is printable and can be filled out like an order form.

Information in Our Plant List

Plant category: Fern, grass, shrub, sub-shrub, tree, vine, or wildflower

Pot size:

• Each container includes a single plant.

• "2 gal S" plants are smaller than other plants of the same species sold in the same size pot.

Prices: Regular retail price is listed. See the Special Pricing box below for discounts available to Native Plant Trust Members, nonprofit organizations, and landscape professionals.

Availability: During the growing season, the plant list will be updated weekly on Thursdays, noting the current and projected availability at each location. We cannot anticipate crop delays and the pace of sales in our forecasts, so projected availability is approximate.

Plant Pickup Expectations

**PLEASE READ**

• Our Plant Sales staff makes every effort to keep every plant healthy for our customers. However, plants are happiest in the ground, and if reserved plants are not picked up promptly, our staff cannot guarantee the condition of the plant.
• If all plants in your order will be available at a similar time, your order will be scheduled for a single pickup.
• If plants in your order will be available at different times during the season, our staff will notify you when a group of your plants becomes available.
• Once you have been notified that your plants are available for pickup, you must reply within 3 days and schedule a pickup date and time that falls within 7 days of receiving our notification.
• If you cannot pick up your plants within this time frame, you must contact plant sales staff to discuss an extension.
• If you do not arrange an extension within 10 days of receiving your pickup notice, we may return your plants to inventory, and we can no longer guarantee availability.

Our collections are expertly curated to answer questions including:

• How do I attract more birds and pollinators to my garden?
• How can I support climate resilience at home?
• What plants can survive in a wet area of my yard?
• What plants will grow in the shady area beneath my trees?

All collections contain 8 herbaceous plants (1 of each species).

*NEW* Some collections are now accompanied by recommended woody plant companions (sold separately), which can increase the collection's ability to support wildlife and meet other garden needs.

Native pollinators need native plants for habitat, and native plants need native pollinators to reproduce. The populations of bees, butterflies, bats, and birds that pollinate all plants are threatened, and the native-plant habitats they depend on are vanishing. But you can help! With our carefully selected mixes of native pollinator plants, you can transform your home landscape into a native plant pollinator oasis that buzzes with life!

Pollinator Kit Overview

• Native Plant Trust offers pollinator kits for pre-order that are tailored to three types of growing conditions:
  • Kit 1: Full sun, average to dry soil; well suited to open sites with drier conditions.
  • Kit 2: Part sun, moist to dry soil; adaptable to a wide range of conditions including woodlands.
  • Kit 3: Full to part sun, moist to occasionally wet soil; ideal for pond shores and other damp sites.
• This downloadable table provides details about the plants included in each kit. Each plant species designated as a HOST supports five or more native butterfly or moth species during their larval stage. (Kit contents may vary slightly from what appears in the table, based on last-minute variables.)
• Each kit is packaged in a single tray, containing 50 plug-sized plants (7 species) selected to produce a cascade of bloom throughout the season and habitat for particular pollinators at all stages of their life cycles. Beginning in 5-inch-deep plug cells, these plants should mature to fill a space approximately 75 square feet or larger, depending on what is growing there already and the desired planting density.
• All plants in our kits are started from seed native to our region to ensure high genetic diversity.
• Our plug kits deliver faster results than gardens started from seed, because you start with well-developed plants with deep, healthy root systems that establish quickly.
• We use biological controls rather than chemicals as our first line of defense against pests. We use no systemic pesticides, such as neonicotinoids.
• After you place an order, we will send you instructions on how to prepare the soil so that it will be ready for planting when you receive your kits. For best results, please follow our instructions on how to prepare your site and care for the plants as they become established.

• The plants sales team will email you when your kit is ready for pickup.

Q: How do I use the plant list?

A: Our native plant list is intended to aid you in compiling your order. Here's how to use it:

• The Excel version is sortable. If, for example, you are looking only for shrubs, sort by category. If you are looking for plugs, sort by size.
• Categories include: Ferns, Grasses, Shrubs, Sub-shrubs, Trees, Vines, and Wildflowers.
• Plant sizes are usually given as pot volume, such as 1- or 2-gallon.
• Tru Gal is a bit larger than 1 gallon.
• This year we have introduced a 2-gallon “small” category: "2 gal S." These plants are smaller than other plants of the same species sold in the same size pot. They will save you a few dollars.
• Plant height is included where known.
• Container seedlings are shrub and tree seedlings/saplings in approximately 3” wide x 9” tall pots.
• Plugs are smaller than 1 qt. seedlings grown in seed trays. Plugs are sold individually.
• Each container includes a single plant.
• Provenance shows seed-source information for species grown from seed. An "unknown" listing indicates that either the seed source is undetermined or the plants were not grown from seed. Some species are listed more than once, because in some cases we offer seed-grown and non-seed-grown plants.
• Availability dates show approximately when any given species will be available for sale at both locations. We update lists and dates throughout the season. However, we cannot anticipate crop delays and the rate of sale when creating the list, so availability dates are approximate.

Q: How do I order plants?

A: Our plant list is intended to aid you in compiling your order. While it is not required when sending your order, it is helpful to us. To place an order, download or refer to our 2024 Native Plant Price List from this webpage. Enter quantities in the price list and email your order to the location where you want to pick up your order. For Garden in the Woods, send your order to gardennatives@NativePlantTrust.org.

• membership info - if you are a current Native Plant Trust member, would like to become a member, or wish to renew your membership

We will email you a finalized quote that includes instructions for secure online payment.

Q: How will I get my plants?

A: When your plant order is ready we email you to schedule a pickup. Please make note of availability dates as you are compiling your order. We try to have your order complete at one time, but widely varying availability dates can necessitate more than one pickup.

Q: Where can I get some advice about which plants will work best in my yard?

A: We have some great tools for you!

Our Garden Plant Finder is a helpful tool you can use to develop lists of plants that will thrive in your garden’s conditions. This year's plant lists contain a Garden Plant Finder link to each species.

For color-illustrated handbooks with full plant descriptions, we recommend our books, The Northeast Native Plant Primer: 235 Plants for an Earth-Friendly Garden or Native Plants for New England Gardens. You can buy them online on the Garden Books by Our Experts page.

Once we open for the season we look forward to helping you in person. Until then, we can help you with preorders and answer questions by email and phone. Since we are working remotely much of this time, it is best to email gardennatives@NativePlantTrust.org with questions.
