There is a growing interest in incorporating Georgia native plants home landscapes across the state. However, whenever I make a presentation dealing with native plants of value to wildlife, invariably I am asked, “Where can I purchase these valuable plants?”
There is indeed a paucity of reputable wild plant dealers in Georgia. In fact, I am convinced the inability of gardeners to purchase wild plants is limiting the numbers of homeowners that are incorporating Georgia native plants in their home landscapes.
With this in mind, whenever I come across a reputable nursery that deals in native plants I am going to share contact information relating to these organizations with you.
In hopes of adding to this list as time goes by, please let me know about a native plant dealer that you have dealt with. This information will help me expand the list in the future.
Here is a list of four nurseries that can help you add a new dimension to your garden this spring.

Hi Terry! i’m still enjoying your column! There is a native plant nursery in Perry. Flat Creek Natives, out past the State Park on US 41 No. Visits are by appointment only on their Facebook page, so I will not list the address here. Phone 478 955-1731. Owner Greg Lewis. He has a good selection of healthy plants.

Janice,
Thanks very much. I will add your suggestion to the next blog. I hope you are seeing lots of birds this spring. Things are slow around my feeders.

You should add: Nearly Native Nursery, 770 McBride Rd., Fayetteville, GA 30215 770-460-6248 https://nearlynativenursery.com.
Thank you for your input. I will add it to the list.

Thank you so much!
Thanks for your response. Personally knowing how difficult it is to locate native plant dealers I thought others might be having the same problem.
