Native plants should never be dug from the wild. Many are becoming threatened through habitat destruction and collection. We should not be adding to this pressure. The best source for your plants is a good local nursery with plants native to your region, grown by the nursery, and not collected from the wild. To help in the search for such suppliers we have compiled this source list.

Please note that the nurseries supplied the information provided in this list. The inclusion of any supplier should not be seen as an endorsement by the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Be sure to check with suppliers on the origin of their stock to ensure plants are not dug from the wild. Avoid the purchase of named cultivars where possible as they are often chosen for their abnormal characteristics, such as small size or bloom time, and may be less useful for creating habitat. Stock that has originated locally is also preferable. (Many plants are found across the country, but local plants are better adapted to your climate.)

Click on the province of interest. Within each province the list is sorted alphabetically by company name. The city name is in red for ease of reference. Don't forget to look for companies in the smaller cities or towns close to your area.

Basic company information is given in the main listing. More in-depth information can be found for most suppliers by clicking the button.

Companies included sell plants at the retail level. We have included a separate listing of wholesale suppliers.

We hope you find the source list useful. If you are a native plant supplier or know of a good nursery that is not included, please contact us or download the form.
