Wild Ginger

Woodlands Shop

We love to help people discover the possibilities of their shady landscapes. Whether you have some natural woods you’d like to improve or a shade tree with potential underneath, we can help you understand how to prepare a site for woodland wildflowers, sedges, and ferns. Our plants can help bring long-lasting beauty for humans and necessary ecological support for bees, butterflies, moths and other wildlife. We offer woodland wildflowers, a limited number of sedges and grasses, and a selection of ferns that are all native to Michigan. Please note that requirements for some of these plants differ from regular native plantings, mainly in soil richness and drainage. Let us help set you up for success!

Important Information to Consider Before Buying Woodland Plants.

NEW for FALL 2024: Bare Root plants can be shipped to Michigan addresses! Bare root plants are priced the same as wholesale. We are excited to offer this option to our customers. Orders will have the option of a flat rate shipping box for $19.30. However, if your order fits into the smaller USPS shipping box, we will refund you $8.30

Sales tax is currently part of the price.

Gallons of some species are available. If you are interested in the gallon size, please contact us to inquire about availability.
