I’m excited to share that I’m now offering native stock at Dillon Old Farm Nursery here in Chester, NH! While I don’t have much, this being the first season, what I do have is healthy and happy and ready to overwinter in your new or expanding wildlife garden, pollinator garden, and eco-landscape.

I can’t wait to share more as this evolves into something spectacular. 🌸 🐝 🍃
