Our Story
We started Blue Stem Natives in 2021 when we recognized the huge demand for native plants and a serious lack of supply. Britt and Kristen met at a Wild Ones meetings where we were on the board working on growing plants for the garden club's plant sale. Then and there we decided we needed to start a native-only nursery.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help everyone, regardless of land ownership, create wildlife friendly green spaces, using plants native to our area. We strive to produce and provide high-demand native plants for the New England region, using local ecotypic seed when possible. We specialize in growing native plants from seed so as to encourage genetic diversity, and grow only straight-species, no ‘cultivars’. Blue Stem Natives is committed to using environmentally mindful growing practices such as using pots made from recycled plastic and growing with 100% peat-free soil.
Location
We are located in the Village Gardens shopping center at

We believe in leading by example using sustainable practices in our homes as well as our business, and our commitment to increasing bio-diversity and restoring our local ecosystems drive our daily actions and long-term goals. Here are a few of our commitments:
