What question do we get asked the most?
“Where can I find native plants?”
HGCNY updates this Native Plant Shopping Guide (NPSG) every year to help you find high-quality native plants in the Central New York Region.
Our guide features many of the excellent local nurseries that specialize in plants grown for our climate and soils — along with the specific species each one carries.
Click the “Shopping Guide” button to explore what is available. Click the “Nursery List & Map” button to view the nurseries, their websites, and a map of their locations.
The Native Plant Shopping Guide Has Four Sections:
The INTRODUCTION explains more about the Guide, the codes used, native plant shopping tips, additional plant references, as well as the location and contact information for the nurseries.
The PLANTS LISTED BY SCIENTIFIC NAMES and the nurseries selling them. We encourage you to choose plants by their scientific names since they’re more accurate than common names.
The PLANTS LISTED BY COMMON NAMES and the nurseries selling them.
We also have a separate list of LANDSCAPERS who can help you design and/or maintain your native plant natural landscape.

Confirm the nursery’s current hours — some do not have regular/set hours and require an appointment — and check that the specific plants you want are in stock. Availability can change quickly (what’s there in May may be gone by July). A quick call or email helps you avoid disappointment and unnecessary travel.
