Are you a native plant nursery or contractor in Kentucky? Our website features a list of plant nurseries in our region that grow and sell native plants. The plant nurseries list has been extremely helpful and served as an important resource for native plant enthusiasts looking to grow their own native plants. We are working to improve this list to provide the most up-to-date information to our community.
This year we are adding contractors who work with native plants to this list. This will include landscape designers, invasive species removal specialists, habitat restoration specialists and more businesses that have a focus on native plants. We hope that updating and adding in related contractors that we can promote further habitat management and conservation throughout the state. This will serve as a the most complete collection of professionals in KY that work in plant conservation and restoration.
Moving forward, we plan to have this form featured on our website so that new businesses can send in submissions throughout the year. This will allow the list to be more readily updated and easy to navigate for both native plant enthusiasts and businesses.
If you are interested in having your business featured, we invite you to fill out this form on our website: https://www.knps.org/native-plant-supplier-form/.
