Native Plant Nurseries and Restoration Consultants in Wisconsin

The following companies, individuals, and organizations may be able to provide you with seed or plants native to Wisconsin or the Midwest. Except as noted, seeds and plants are generally nursery grown. Companies listed in the back section provide consulting, design, landscape installation, and/or maintenance services. Those nurseries that offer plants with seed and consulting services are listed under nursery sections.

When doing any plantings to restore or re-create a natural area it is best to obtain seeds or plants from as close to your planting site as possible. Most nurseries are willing to tell you the source of their plants. Ask to assure the source if your intent is to purchase nursery-propagated plants or seed obtained from local sources. All out of state nurseries listed are within approximately one hundred miles of Wisconsin.
