Native Plant Nurseries & Seed Production

Several successful native plant nurseries that specialize in tallgrass have established themselves in Southern Ontario over the past decade and provide both retail and contract growing services. Contract growing for restoration and creation sites is an increasingly important part of the business. More and more, you can see fields of native plants in glorious bloom. One contract grower in the Tillsonburg area reports virtual traffic jams as motorists slow down to admire the display. SER’s Native Plant Resource Guide for Ontario gives a complete listing native plant suppliers, which include tallgrass prairie plants and seed sources.
