No order minimums. Beginner-friendly & challenging species aplenty. Our plant sales bring sustainable landscapes, wildlife support, and climate resilience home for gardeners of every level.
To ensure wildlife support, NPU only offers wildtype species. No trademarked varieties here- share starts and seed with friends!
Easily shop foundation plants during preorders, then pickup and shop sale-exclusive species in-person!
Expect spring herbaceous species, fall woody species, and winter bare roots. NPU makes 300+ native species available to Central Indiana every year!
During this final week, purchasing is in-person only. Listings now include real time inventory.
