Hey everybody!
It’s autumn in the northern hemisphere, which means we’re coming up on the best time for planting trees, shrubs, and other perennials. With that in mind, I thought it would be good to have a list of nurseries that do fall shipping or provide bare root plants for their communities. I’ll sticky this thread until winter-ish, at which point we’ll add it to the sidebar as a resource to refer back to.
Please share nurseries with which you’ve had good experiences, or whose ethics you appreciate, or any that generally give good vibes - this is your chance to reward them with additional business for being good community members and stewards. Please remember to add some kind of geographical information as well! There are plenty of nurseries that have large shipping areas, but the people who use your suggestion will be best served by having access to regionally acclimated plants.
For the northeastern US, I’m really a fan of:
-
FedCo - employee owned and good selection, based in Maine. Orders ship in the spring, organized by frost dates
-
edible acres - Based in upstate New York, Sean has been an inspiring force for me, and is an awesome person to interact with.
Though the above have more selection, for full disclosure:
