The one-hour consultation about my restoration project was incredibly valuable. Nick's expert guidance ranged from general strategy to the nuts-and-bolts of timing for specific plans. He was able to answer all of my questions in an informed manner and offer ideas and suggestions that I had not even considered. I feel much more confident and excited about getting started with my resoration project after talk with Nick!

Asclepias incarnata

We requested milkweed plugs to plant for our dwindling monarch population. Natural Communities asked if they could substitute our milkweed selection with the incarnata species, still a favorite of monarchs, because those plugs were doing a little better than the others.
38 well-established, healthy plugs of incarnata arrived a week later. They are in the ground and everyone of them is growing. Thank you Natural Communities!

My plugs and bare roots have arrived on time and as promised. In fact, they are great! They have been very responsive to questions and I have confidence in them.

Sweet grass

I am creating a sweet grass patch in my garden to develop the sweet grass for basket making. It arrived in great condition, cooled by the packaging. It’ll be a few years before I can use it for baskets, however, they are already of a size that I should have a little bit of a head start.

Hierochloe odorata (Sweet Grass)
Excellent!

Plants arrived in perfect condition; I wasn't able to plant for a few days, but when I did, they looked fantastic and went in easily. Two weeks later still looking great, thank you!

Hierochloe odorata (Sweet Grass)
Very Pretty Sedge

We’ve had two different orders of Carex woodii. Both arrived in good condition, ready to plant. I lost a few plants to drought over this really dry summer, but I’m pleased with these. They fit in well where I need them and I expect they’ll do fine as they expand and fill in.

I’ve bought a lot of Carex, in several varieties from Natural Communities, and they’ve all been great.

The photos are of Carex planted approximately 5 months ago in a partially shaded area. They’re filling in nicely.
