Companies and Nurseries that Sell Organic Seedlings and Plants
This list is an ongoing project. We began searching for organic nurseries in our own backyard, in Washington, DC, and inquired whether they had organic plants, and who supplied them if they did not grow them themselves. A lot of the local nurseries grow their own, but there are a few that get their seedlings from bigger wholesalers, or from organic farms in the region. As we continue to grow this list, we encourage you to ask your local nurseries if they grow or provide organic plants.
