Many gardeners have been looking to add native plants to their gardens. Here is a list as of April 2024 by Halton Region Master Gardeners. The criteria for being included on this list was that most plants for sale by these businesses are native to the Ontario region (indicated by green stars on linked map). When you shop for native plants it’s especially important to use the botanical (scientific) name so that you can be sure you are getting the species you want.
Claudette Sims has compiled a map of Nurseries with primarily native plants and also other nurseries in Southern Ontario: Please copy and paste the following link:
Note the Legend on the Map
- Green Stars – indicate nurseries that sell primarily native plants
- Blue Dropped Pins – other independent nurseries
Please email haltonmastergardeners@gmail.com if you have any other nurseries to include, remove or update. With thanks,
Halton Master Gardeners
PLEASE NOTE: Contact the nursery in advance. Many have limited hours, or are open by appointment only.
