Native Perennial Seeds and Plants

This web site provides an up-to-date listing of native plants and seeds that we have for sale. In addition, we offer a printed catalogue that is updated annually.

We do not maintain a storefront but do provide many opportunities for our local customers to shop for plants and seeds. We are regular participants at the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance Farmers Market from 9 to 1 on Sundays. We area also invited to many other markets, events, and festivals. Groups often arrange for a seed and/or plant sale in conjunction with a lecture, seminar, or workshop.

Contact Randi by phone (908-996-7500) or e-mail at toadshade@toadshade.com to arrange for Toadshade Wildflower Farm to participate in an event.

Custom Seed Mixes

Small packets of seed provides extreme flexibility for knowledgeable gardeners who have small areas to plant. However, many people are not sure which species to use to meet their gardening goals. In addition, for large sites bulk seed mixes are a more economical choice.

For customers who want a custom size mix we offer a service to design the ideal mix to meet their goals. We will blend and prepare the seed for planting.

Contact Randi by phone (908-996-7500) or e-mail at toadshade@toadshade.com to begin designing your own custom seed mix.

Consultations
