Plant Availability

I fell in love with our native flora in a rough patch of my life, during which the only time I felt okay was when I was out alone on wild land; it was then that I started foraging and my fascination with plants was born.  In recent years working as a gardener specializing in native plants, I grew increasingly frustrated that so much native biodiversity is missing from our gardens because the species just simply aren't available to buy.  This is why I grow these plants – because nobody else is. 

I spend my year planned around collecting seed from plants all around the state.  The vast majority of my plants are grown from the seed that I seek out, but there are some that I propagate vegetatively by dividing stems and rhizomes from a small number of wild collected plants, such as Opuntia (prickly pear), Sedum (stonecrop) and Viola (violets and pansies).  I never directly sell plants that I have collected from the wild, though I am interested in salvage opportunities. 

Sustainability is a work in progress for all growers, and I feel pretty good about where I'm at so far.  My operation is 100% peat free and I avoid the use of industrially-intensive soil additives like vermiculite and perlite, in favor of materials like coir, pumice, and neem cake.  I reuse plastic containers as fast as I acquire them, largely from my work as a gardener.  I use beneficial microbes instead of the standard fungicides for seedlings. 

Currently available plants are available on a first-come basis (either in-person ordering via email).  If you'd like to put in a special order of a quantity of plants to be grown from seed specifically for you, my entire seed inventory is available for special ordering plants.  Note: Nobody Nursery does not sell seed at this time.  

The minimum special order size is 72 individual plants, and container sizes can range from plug to pint/3.5"/4".  ***There is no minimum for normal mail or in-person orders***

Check out my inventory, and then email your wish list to jo@nobodynursery.com for a quote.  

NOTE: under my standard shipping rates, plants are shipped bare-root.  To inquire about custom rates for shipping in pots (with soil), email jo@nobodynursery.com.  

Ordering plugs?  There is an additional charge of $0.50 per plug, since plants that age/size tend not to be ideal candidates for bare-root shipping.
