Earth Sangha's Wild Plant Nursery Species List
The Wild Plant Nursery is a working nursery focused on growing for restoration projects the DC region. Our collection is entirely “local ecotype.” We grow all of our plants from material that we ourselves collect, with permission, from the forests and meadows of the Washington, DC, region. We propagate almost entirely from seed or spore, except for a few species that we propagate vegetatively, from dividing whole-plant rescues or cuttings. While we are not a garden center we do sell to homeowners to help fund our restoration work. Check out our inventory below!

The Wild Plant Nursery is located in Grove Point Park (formerly known as Franconia Park) at 6100 Cloud Dr. Springfield, VA 22150.
