The Arboretum's Native Plant Nursery specializes in growing plants native to the Delmarva Peninsula. Many plants are propagated from locally collected seeds and cuttings. The Arboretum sells the region's largest selection of native trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, ferns and grasses.
A dedicated group of volunteers and interns works with Arboretum staff to maintain the nursery. They manage five hoop houses for container grown plants, a greenhouse and propagation beds.
The nursery is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Members receive a 10% discount on plants. For additional information, call 410-634-2847 ext. 0 or e-mail info@adkinsarboretum.org.
