Native Plant Suppliers & Service Providers

This listing of regional native plant suppliers and native plant service providers (landscape designers & installers, invasive plant management, etc.) is being provided as a service to Kentucky Native Plant Society members and the general public. Clicking on the name of a company will take you to a page with more detailed information about the company. Some of these suppliers may sell non-native species or cultivars. The detail page will provide that information. We encourage people to purchase plants native to Kentucky.

Listing on this page does not imply any endorsement by the Kentucky Native Plant Society.

This listing of native plant suppliers and service providers is just one of many activities of the KNPS in support of its mission to promote education about, appreciation for, and conservation of our native flora. If you would like to help KNPS with this mission, consider joining KNPS or making a donation. Thank you.
