Welcome to Catskill Native Nursery

The nursery was created on a site that has been a market garden and homestead
since the 1820s. We think of our business as a continuation of a tradition
which valued ecological knowledge, hard work, organic methods and a respect for
nature. Our customers often mention how they feel transported back to a simpler
agricultural time when they visit us.

The nursery is run with a minimum of fossil fuel, a little wind and solar and a
lot of muscle. We do not have greenhouses, but rather shade houses and cold
frames designed to protect and strengthen young plants until they are ready to
go to their permanent homes in your garden. The plants we offer are well
acclimated to our location in the foothills of the eastern Catskill Mountains.
Most, but not all, will grow well in colder areas north of us or at higher
altitudes. And most, but not all,will grow well in warmer zones south of us
into northern New Jersey, Connecticut and the the New York City area.

We specialize in woodland perennials from northeastern North America. From
spring to fall our woodland propagating area is a dense carpet of green and
silver foliage, multiple textures and bright, delicate flowers. We strive to
grow as many species as we can from seeds collected from local populations.
This ensures that plants are well-adapted to our region and will perform better
in your garden.

Our bog and wetland offerings include many hard-to-find natives, like the
carnivorous pitcher plants shown above right. We propagate a large variety of
water lilies including the native fragrant pond lily, Nymphaea odorata, to the right and hardy hybrids, above.
