Preorder for 2027

Whether you’re restoring a riverbank or tending a garden, we welcome you into the Understory.

Our nursery offers native plant starts attuned to the river valleys and uplands of the Upper Rio Grande Watershed, along with select medicinal and food crops. We connect people with plants that support pollinators and the habitats they depend on.

We grow from seed sourced from locally adapted ecotypes and trusted seed-saving networks. We gather seed conservatively and never collect from rare or endangered species. Through classes and workshops, we also invite our community to learn about seed saving and become seed stewards.

Each year, we accept a limited number of custom orders for community gardens, small-scale restoration projects, and educational gardens. We can grow specific plants for these projects at wholesale prices. We look forward to hearing about your 2027 project.

Plants are available at farmers markets May–September 2027, with preorders open now for market pickup. We look forward to seeing you!
