About Us
Amanda's Native Garden LLC, located in Sparta, NY, specializes in native perennials. We grow over 200 kinds of plants. We are expanding our line of plants every year, now including shrubs and trees. Sparta is located in the Finger Lakes region of Western NY, south of beautiful Hemlock Lake. When you visit plan on spending some time in the Hemlock-Canadice State Forest.
Amanda's Native Garden LLC has an excellent supply of nursery-propagated perennials ready for planting. These wonderful plants are thrilling additions to your garden. Do you have a shady spot or a spot with a little too much moisture? Try using native perennials to solve your gardening problems. These plants are durable, beautiful, and help provide food and habitat for butterflies, moths and birds.
Amanda’s Native Garden LLC propagates and grows many species of native perennials by seed, division, cuttings and spores from plants specifically grown as stock propagation plants. Our many years of native perennial propagation have led to high quality, affordable plants. Plants are flowering size and are potted in one quart or larger size. We also offer contract growing services for larger designs, with plantings in 2” inch pots or plugs. You can visit our nursery for garden tours and hands-on demonstrations. During your visit you can pick up plants in person. We can also ship our plants in the Northeastern US and plants are shipped only bare root and dormant.
