Propagation Methods
The Heated Greenhouse
The Heated Greenhouse
Propagation is a central part of our nursery operations and a key to growing plants that thrive in Northern Michigan’s climate. We grow plants from seeds, hardwood and softwood cuttings, and plant divisions. To ensure strong, healthy plants that are well-suited for the region, we prioritize sourcing our propagation materials as close to local as possible. This approach results in plants that are naturally acclimated to the conditions of Petoskey, Boyne City, Charlevoix, and the surrounding areas.

The Heated Greenhouse
Our heated greenhouse is a key part of our farm nursery, providing the opportunity to grow year-round. This controlled space allows us to start seeds early, propagate hardwood and softwood cuttings, and shelter plants that "push the envelope" for zone 5b. It also enables us to introduce plant varieties that might not thrive outdoors in our climate. The greenhouse extends our growing capacity, helping us maintain a steady supply of plants throughout the year.
Our Focus on "what"
The Heated Greenhouse
Our Focus on "what"
We focus on plants that are valuable for food production, pollinator support, and ecological health. Native plants are essential for supporting local wildlife, including birds, bees, and butterflies. Edible crops, like fruiting shrubs and perennial herbs, support food production for both people and pollinators. Our pollinator-friendly plants provide habitat for beneficial insects, while our ornamental offerings bring visual appeal to landscapes.
Our focus on "Why"
The Heated Greenhouse
Our Focus on "what"
The plants we grow are selected for their purpose and value. Edible crops provide nourishment, pollinator plants support biodiversity, and ornamental plants add beauty to landscapes. We also grow privacy hedges, windbreaks, and other useful plants that offer practical benefits for homesteads, farms, and gardens. By focusing on plants that provide both function and beauty, we create a plant nursery that serves the needs of people, wildlife, and the land.
