Eco-friendly grower

All of my plants are grown using earth friendly techniques, from seed collection to watering with rainwater. Pots are 100% recylced, some are re-used containers, others are made from recycled plastics. Plants are fed with PLANT-TONE by Espoma, an organic fertilizer and/or worm castings. I grow plants that can replace those lost to development in order to help sustain wildlife that depend on them. You can be assured that you are not getting plants from the wild, which is unethical and further contributes to habitat loss.

Native plant range and our shipping

Raven's note:

I offer only healthy, robust, plants that I have taken great care in growing. I also take great care in packing them. If for some reason they arrive in poor condition, I may refund or exchange at my discretion. You must notify me within 2 days of receiving them as I cannot be responsible for them once their care is out of my control. Sometimes despite all efforts, a plant gets dehydrated during transit. Just set the plant in its pot in a tray of water for a couple of hours and this should bring it around. Please note that I may need to trim plants back to fit them in their boxes. This will not hurt them; it actually encourages further growth.
