Values

At Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries, we lead the way in science-based native plant propagation. With a 30-year track record, we offer the highest quality native, local-genotype seed and plants as well as the expertise to use and care for them.

We specialize in meeting the needs of clients requesting specific origins. Taylor Creek’s local genotype seed is nursery-grown in beds started from seeds collected ethically on native habitat remnants. Although our nursery can provide a range of genotypes from throughout the U.S., it is Taylor Creek’s practice to produce seed and plants most often from the vicinity of our nurseries.

We track origins diligently and carry more than one genotype, for biodiversity propagation as well as customer service. And, we are pleased to offer custom growing of ultra-local seed. We will also grow plants from nearly any eco-region on demand for clients whose projects require them.

Because we are committed to a “first, do no harm” mindset, our plants are nursery grown; it’s not our practice to wild-collect live plants.
