LOCAL NURSERIES that grow native plants
and
Not-so-Local Nurseries that Offer Native Plugs and Seeds
A growing number of nurseries in our area strictly sell native plants that have been carefully propagated from seed to ensure the resilience of genetic diversity and without the use of neonicotinoids or other pesticides.
Here is a list of the strictly native plant nurseries that we are aware of in the area, roughly organized by distance from Greenfield. Also listed are reliable mail-order sources for seeds and plants. Check with each one before going to make sure they are open for the season, and to check hours.

Prairie Moon Nursery
A reliable source of seed for native seeds and plants. The seed source is their fields in Minnesota - not exactly local! However, the seeds do provide a way to increase the local gene pool, and the climate in Minnesota is not that different from the climate in parts of New England.
Prairie Moon provides detailed instructions for plant propagation and seed starting as well.
