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.

Joy Of Natives

We provide seed-grown native plants (forbs, shrubs, and trees) for homeowners and landscapers. We try to use locally collected seed whenever possible. The nursery is located in south-central Kentucky in Pulaski County. The nursery was started in 2023 so we are still growing!

In the spring, the nursery is open by appointment. In September-October, the nursery is open on Fridays and Saturdays.

We can contract grow plants/plugs for bigger projects. We also provide consultation services.

Other comments from the supplier:

Joy of Natives is a small, women-owned nursery. We would do what we do for free but unfortunately, we do need income to keep the nursery operating.

We also would love to make contact with KY residents who have access to local seed.
