We propagate native plant material specifically targeting wetland mitigation. We are a unique source for regulatory compliant plant material. Our staff includes a plant ecologist with extensive experience, so reach out to us with your plans. We are happy to provide advice, availability lists, or information on contract growing.

We use the wetland indicator status of plants to provide information on the water requirements of plants listed in our catalogue. For more information, visit our wetland indicator status page.
