Embrace your
wild side.
What is the Wiregrass Wilderness Nursery?
The nursery is a small business dedicated to the production and distribution of garden-worthy native and rare plants. The plants we offer are specially selected to endure the heat, humidity, and droughts of the Southeastern US.
We believe that informed gardening is the best gardening-- we test our plants in the ground in southern Alabama and watch how they grow. We can then pass our experience to you, helping you more easily create a landscape that looks its best.
Gardening isn't easy. Plants are complicated, and they don't always behave the way you'd expect.
Good-looking plants can be especially tough to grow in the heat and humidity of the Deep South. Our sauna-like summers make diseases, insects, and heat stress invariable facts of life. Foliar ailments and bare, leafless stems are familiar obstacles to those who dare venture beyond the bland plant selections offered at most box stores.
That's where we come in.
At the Wiregrass Wilderness Nursery, we believe that knowledge is power. Every plant has its place-- it's our job to find what that place is. Proper plant selection takes time, thought, and a knowledge of the plants at hand. We aim to share our botanical experience through knowledgeable staff and informative signage that helps the intrepid gardeners out there learn how to garden beautifully with rare and native plants.
