Our goal is Full Circle Native Plant Production

Big Bluestem and Side Oats Grama plant plugs at the Mitigomin Native Plant Nursery

The Alderville BOS developed the Mitigomin Native Plant Nursery to encapsulate native plant cultivation within Alderville First Nation restoration programs. “Mitigomin” is a Michi Saagiig word which translates to “seed from an oak;” a representation of the relationship between Alderville BOS and MNPN.

Teaching Gardens

We have existing partnerships with local school boards which allow us to produce native plants and install teaching gardens for K-12 programming. Our services include garden consultation (determining theme and appropriate plant species), assisting in planting and installation, and supplying plants. Please note it is the responsibility of the school to determine a summer maintenance plan for their garden. If you are interested in a Teaching Garden for your school, fill out the form below.

Plant Request Form

Contract Growing Information:

  • Submitting this form does not guarantee plants. Projects are evaluated on a case by case basis and we may be in touch for more information prior to moving forward.

  • We do not sell any seed. We offer contract growing services.

  • Seed sourcing options: The buyer can provide seed or we can include a seed sourcing service in the quote.

  • Our plants are grown to order. Most native Ontario herbaceous plant species take about 3-6 months to grow into a standard plug, depending on species. Orders must be placed at least 4 months prior to desired planting date.

  • We do not sell plants for private home gardens
