Native plant nursery
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.
