Native plants grown and propagated right here in our own nursery.

Why Conway Natives?

We propagate our own plant material right here in Conway Native’s fields and cold frames, and keep it healthy all season long. With over 30 years of experience in landscape design and installation in Western MA as Wilder Hill Gardens, we are uniquely qualified to know which plants will work well for you and our changing climate.

Conway Natives offers a unique variety of native shrubs, flowering perennials, and ornamental grasses for sun or shade. Native plants add unsurpassed beauty to your landscape, while attracting pollinators and creating habitat. Because we are well versed in conventional landscape design, we can help you choose native plants and combinations that work well, even in small spaces or close to structures. Conway Natives also offers select cultivars and non-natives, such as certain Viburnums and Hydrangeas that compliment and round out the plant selection in certain landscapes.

Whether you are creating a new garden/landscape from bare ground or transitioning an existing landscape to native plants, our healthy plants and experienced staff can help you select the best shrubs, perennials and grasses for your project. A special interest is helping older gardeners transition their plantings to a much lower maintenance landscape with original techniques and easy to grow native plants.

Why Native Plants?

GROWN RIGHT HERE, HEALTHY ALL SEASON

The native plants you will find at Conway Natives are propagated and grown right here, contributing to our local, sustainable agriculture. We use organic methods and remarkably little petroleum in our nursery and landscape projects. We recycle hundreds of nursery pots every year to use in our business and are using peat pots for young seedlings.

Native plants have a special type of beauty, especially when grown together in a garden vignette, or in a larger scale meadow. There is a calm rightness about a stand of native plants, flowers, foliage and grasses creating a succession of color and form, from spring to late fall.

Being inherently adapted to our region, many natives are easy to grow, thriving and multiplying in your gardens year after year. Native plants have a long and important relationship to birds, beneficial insects and butterflies, the larger fauna, and even trees and mycelium!

A gradual introduction of native plants into your gardens and landscape is perfect. Plant a few native plant in your garden or transition a larger space this year. Conway Natives is here to help.
