Our goal and mission is to produce plants native to Oklahoma and 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.
We are now carrying more books. We are highly selective of the books we carry. (literally) We wouldn't lug these around if we didn't feel strongly about them. We also have a list of highly recommended material that we don't carry. Be sure to select the link above for a list.

The Plant List. for 2008 is here. We can only bring some of our inventory to each market. So be sure to contact us in advance if you have a specific request for a particular event. Please try to get your special orders in by the Wednesday before an event to give us (Marilyn) time to pick the order and plan our loads. Thanks.
Excel variation of the plant list. Available in Excel with filters set. Make selections based on our pre-existing columns or use the last column to filter your own selection. Also sortable if you are handy with Excel. Our Butterfly etc. symbols will show up as letters without the right fonts installed.

We recently (October 2007) spotted the Texan Crescent nectering on Verbesina enceloides (Golden Crownbeard).
This was a first for
Seminole County.
Our friend Russell Studebaker was kind enough to mention us in his July 7, 2007 article in the Tulsa World. We appreciate all the help we can get. Thanks Russell. (thanks also for the chickens)
Our thanks to Betty Culpepper and the nice things she always has to say about us in the Norman Transcript.
