You can purchase native plants at most nurseries throughout the Northeast US. If you have a nursery near you, ask about their native plant selection. They may not have a huge variety but there should be something to choose from.

An excellent resource in NYC is the Greenbelt Native Plant Center on Staten Island. This is a City-run organization who's mission is to provide locally appropriate seeds and plants and offer guidance with planning your projects.

If you do not live in the NYC area, or you are looking for nurseries that specialize in native plants and seeds, visit the Plant Native website for a state-by-state database of native plant nurseries and lists of native plants by region

For tips on a variety of gardening topics, see our Plant Information Guides.
