We will be delaying our spring opening day at the Nursery to May 1st. We will continue to participate in March & April off-site sales (see our website for details).

Why? I (Tracy) made some poor management decisions which resulted in losing most of our overwintered plants to last week's 12° temperatures which was likely further compounded by the 90° temperatures that followed. We are devastated, as we're sure you are too. We will be working on transplanting lots of new plant babies for your home gardens, but it will take time to catch up. We're sorry for the inconvenience this causes and encourage you to support our other wonderful, local native plant nurseries.

What can you do to help? Help spread the word that the nursery location is closed in April, but we continue to strive to bring you high-quality, locally sourced plants later in the year.

Our website has been updated with current availability if you want to place an order for one of our upcoming off-site sales events (click on the "In Stock" filter to see only items currently available).

We can't thank you enough for your support and being with us throughout our journey - in good times and in bad. And we look forward to seeing you later this spring.

The sand phlox (Phlox bifida) is blooming!!!

Unfortunately we won't have this species available for sale again this year, but it makes a wonderful ground cover with early spring blooms if you can find another vendor carrying it.

We're still buzzing from spending 2 days with all the great people at the @deeprootskc Plan It Native conference, where we were boothing with our friends from @cityrootsnursery . So this seems like a good time to again express how amazing the native plant community is. When we were first entering the industry we were worried about how the existing native plant nurseries would perceive us new kids on the block who didn't know what they were doing, trying to steal trade secrets and customers. But we got a very different response. We especially want to thank Merv and the entire amazing crew at @mowildflowersnursery for not only pioneering the native plant community in Missouri, but welcoming us into it and even helping us along the way. So when people commented about our "rivaling" shared booth at the conference these past two days, it was a good opportunity to share that this "industry" is actually a community of amazing people whose goal is to spread native plants as far and wide as we can to build ecosystems and make our earth a healthier place for all. 💜🌎

Plus, the sooner we can accomplish that mission, the sooner we can retire and go out to enjoy more nature! 😁
