Edge of the Woods Native Plants
Regular retail hours will resume Tuesday April 6, 2010.
The only nursery in the Lehigh Valley specializing in native plants. Native plants provide natural and sustainable beauty and a welcoming habitat for birds, butterflies and other insects, ensuring a future filled with a healthy diversity of plants and wildlife.
We are committed to sustainable growing practices and use a peat-free compost based potting mix. (Peat is a non-renewable resource.) Compost provides an excellent source of organic nutrients and helps retain moisture. We use minimal pesticides in the nursery and practice IPM (Integrated Pest Management).
