"Native Forest is our “go-to” nursery for excellent plant material!
Our environmental restoration projects have incorporated various species of trees and shrubs from bare root up to 1” caliper. The plants are always top quality, fully rooted, and exactly to the specification requested. The nursery is clean and organized, and orders arrive professionally packed every time. We are excited to be utilizing material produced in air root prune pots; we’ve already seen an increase in viability of stream restoration plantings. Even their bare root material seems to grow with a vigor, faster and fuller than locally sourced liners.
We enjoy working with them and hope to continue our relationship for years to come!
