BOUT THE NATURAL GARDEN, INC.


Camassia blooming on The Natural Garden groundsThe Natural Garden, Inc. sells herbaceous perennial plants, both ornamentals and plants native to the Chicago region. We grow approximately 65% here on the property by propagation from seed, cutting or division. We buy in the remainder in bare root form, in small pots to pot up and grow, or as finished product to resell.

Our retail customers are gardeners, educators and homeowners. Our wholesale customers are landscapers, park districts, forest preserves and conservation districts, zoos, arboretums, botanical gardens, cities, universities, museums and other garden centers.

These customers deal with us because they know they are getting a quality product that we will support by helping them use it in any way that we can.

They can trust that we have made every effort to ensure that the plants are true to name and origin.

We grow and maintain the plants in a way that communicates that we care about the health and safety of the world in which we all live.



Company History

Astragalus canadensis, Canadian milk vetschThe Natural Garden was established in 1953 as a small nursery where perennials were dug on site for our customers. As interest in perennials and woodland wildflowers brought in more customers, we began to produce a greater selection of plants in containers.

By 1979, as public concern for the preservation of indigenous fauna and flora encouraged and supported the work of natural land managers (park districts & forest preserves), our nursery began to propagate and produce native prairie plants.

Our selection of ornamental plants has also increased through the years, and we have expanded into producing over 1000 container grown selections on 25 acres. The Natural Garden, Inc. now consists of a 4 acre retail garden center with display gardens and a wholesale department.
