Planting Stock Suppliers

Source Responsibly

​In the interest of conservation of forest botanicals in their wild habitats, we encourage buyers to ask suppliers where they source their planting stock.   Is it wild harvested? From where? Did they have landowner permission? If nursery grown, what kinds of pesticides and fungicides used if any?  There may not be a way to verify the answers to these question but we believe it is important to let suppliers know that consumers are paying attention to these sourcing concerns. Buy wisely!

The following compilation is an alphabetical list of suppliers known to the WVFFI partners. The WVFFI does not officially endorse these suppliers.
