Hey everybody!

It's autumn in the northern hemisphere, which means we're coming up on the best time for planting trees, shrubs, and other perennials. With that in mind, I thought it would be good to have a list of nurseries that do fall shipping or provide bare root plants for their communities. I'll sticky this thread until winter-ish, at which point we'll add it to the sidebar as a resource to refer back to.

Please share nurseries with which you've had good experiences, or whose ethics you appreciate, or any that generally give good vibes - this is your chance to reward them with additional business for being good community members and stewards. Please remember to add some kind of geographical information as well! There are plenty of nurseries that have large shipping areas, but the people who use your suggestion will be best served by having access to regionally acclimated plants.

Planting Justice is a permaculture nursery in Oakland, CA,. Here is a video from Andrew Millison's channel highlighting the work they do. Besides being jealous of all those heat-loving plants I can't grow, their efforts towards reparative justice and providing inspiring work and living wages, especially to former inmates, is truly inspiring.

All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.
