Our Native Plants

The following is an occasionally updated list of native plants Villager Nursery frequently offers and common sizes. Slow-growing and highly temperamental species are priced accordingly higher. Availability varies with seed collecting, timing, and weather.
We are a small retail nursery in the high Sierra at the western “shore” of the Great Basin along the Truckee River flowing from Lake Tahoe 10 miles up stream. We no longer grow the plants on site, finding it much more efficient to collect seed (and rarely cuttings) and have them propagated and contact-grown in Oregon and elsewhere. We bring down trucks from various growing grounds at infrequent intervals during the nursery season (May-October). Villager Nursery Native Plants Frequently Available
