Our goal and mission is to produce plants native to Oklahoma and/or beneficial to wildlife. We have a special emphasis on plants which support butterflies, moths and other pollinators.

We are a small Oklahoma nursery and because we do not have a brick and mortar location, we sell through farmer’s markets and herb shows.
