Sugarbush Nursery opened in Spring 2005. Over the years, our mission gradually changed into becoming a native plant nursery. This was a decision driven by ecological concerns, not market forces: native plants play a crucial role in sustaining wildlife, and our over-use of non-native plants for our home landscapes has a direct effect on lowering populations of native birds and butterflies, among other wildlife. We want to be a resource for home gardeners who are looking to make a transition to including more native plants in their landscapes, but either dont know where to begin, or dont otherwise have access to these plants. We put a great deal of thought into our inventory. Unlike other nurseries, we dont just stock up on whatever looks good at the time we carry plants that have been carefully researched as to nativity, wildlife value, and utility and beauty for home landscapes.
