Let’s grow a thriving future.
Fruit and nut trees & native and medicinal plants for the home habitat
PLANT ABUNDANCE
We grow fruit and nut trees & native and medicinal plants to help transform your home into an abundant, verdant oasis. We focus on perennials that provide food and habitat for humans, pollinators, and wildlife as we believe “all flourishing is mutual” (Robin Wall Kimmerer).
We also teach workshops on topics such as pruning, grafting, native plant ID, and gardening. Our goal is to increase people’s ecological literacy so they can create a thriving home habitat.
Collectively, we have tremendous power to increase food security in our communities and restore habitat. Positive change starts with us, and it starts in our backyards.
Everything we offer is grown here on our farm in Midcoast Maine as sustainably as possible!
Create beautiful landscapes that support people, pollinators, and the planet.
Grow with us
These are a fast-growing hybrid of American persimmon and Asian persimmon developed by Clifford England of England’s nursery and orchard. A 1-year old seedling will be between 8” and 16” tall.
Trees will produce fruit in 4-6 years. Persimmon fruit is extremely astringent if unripe, fruit should be left on the trees until it is soft to the touch, often into November and December.
All of our persimmon seedlings are 1 year old and have overwintered outside in USDA zone 6A on the coast of Maine.
Similar to a walnut, the heartnut (Juglans ailantifolia) is fast growing nut tree that will produce a crop of delicious nuts in 3-5 years. Heartnuts are more easily cracked than walnuts and often produce large nut meats.
Our seedling trees are 1 year old and have overwintered outside on the coast of Maine, USDA zone 6A.
