Exceptional Plant Health, Quality & Variety
Edge of the Woods is celebrated for unparalleled plant vigor and diversity. Our specimens arrive healthy, well-rooted, and primed for success in your garden. As one visitor noted, “All the plants are extremely healthy and high quality,” while another praised our “huge selection of native plants that were all healthy and great looking.” From sun-loving wildflowers to shade-tolerant ferns, our inventory is a living testament to careful propagation and expert cultivation.
Education & Native Plant Advocacy
One of our core values is empowering customers with knowledge. Throughout the nursery, you’ll find clear, informative placards describing each species’ ecological benefits, care requirements, and ideal landscape uses. Guided nursery tours led by Mary Ellen offer an immersive learning experience—guests consistently applaud her “enthusiastic, informative tours” as an invaluable opportunity to deepen their understanding of native flora. Whether you’re plotting a pollinator garden or restoring a woodlot, our educational resources help you make environmentally sound choices.
Intuitive Store Layout & Organization
Navigating our well-organized grounds is a breeze. Plants are grouped by type and growing condition, so sun-loving perennials, shrubs, trees, and wetland species each have their own dedicated zone. Thoughtful signage and clear pricing eliminate guesswork: “Items are well labeled and cared for. Organized and priced. No hunting to figure out what items were,” remarked one satisfied customer. This streamlined setup lets you spend more time enjoying plants and less time searching.
Value, Pricing & Added Care
While pricing for specialized native plants naturally reflects their superior quality and careful propagation, customers often find the value exceptional. Many describe our rates as “fair prices … I super highly recommend!!!” and appreciate the all-inclusive expertise—from plant selection to installation advice. For those seeking extra peace of mind, we offer on-site protective rabbit repellant service. After planting, our team applies eco-friendly deterrents to guard against nibbling wildlife, a thoughtful touch that clients say leaves them “absolutely loved” the experience.
