Contract Grow Program
For large projects or specialized plant needs, Carolina Native Nursery offers contract grow programs that allow landscape professionals, developers, and institutions to secure specific native plants.
Contract growing ensures availability of plant species and quantities needed for large landscape installations, restoration projects, or long-term inventory planning.
Why Contract Grow
Many native plant species require time to grow and establish before they are ready for planting in the landscape. Contract growing allows clients to plan ahead and ensure plants are available when their project is ready.
Benefits of contract growing include:
- Guaranteed availability of plant material
- Ability to grow specific native species for your project
- Plants grown for strong regional adaptation
- Reliable supply for large-scale installations
Contract growing is especially valuable for projects that require large quantities of specific plants or that must meet ecological restoration or conservation standards.
Who Uses Contract Grow Programs
Our contract grow programs are used by:
- Landscape architects
- Landscape installation firms
- Garden centers planning future inventory
- Municipal landscape projects
- Conservation and habitat restoration initiatives
These programs help ensure that native plants are available when large projects move from planning into construction.
How the Program Works
Contract grow agreements typically include:
Plant species selection
Projected quantities
Estimated growing timeline
Deposit and production agreement
Plants are grown at our Burnsville nursery using methods that maintain regional adaptation and plant health.
Because native plants require time to grow, contract programs are often planned one to two growing seasons in advance.
Planning Ahead
If you are planning a project that will require large quantities of native plants, we recommend contacting the nursery early in your planning process.
Early coordination allows us to schedule production and ensure plants are available when your project begins.
