Barkaboom Native Plants is a native plant nursery and seed farm founded in 2020 on Haudenosaunee and Lenape land, in what is today known as Margaretville, NY. Our nursery is located roughly 2000’ above sea level on the south-facing slopes of a high ridge above the East Branch Delaware River, 10 miles downstream of its source, and 300 miles upstream of its mouth in Delaware Bay.

We strive to increase accessibility to and knowledge of native plants in our region. Our plants are always nursery grown from seed, utilizing local ecotypes whenever possible. We strive to locally source seed for as many native wildflowers, grasses, trees and shrubs as possible. This seed, responsibly collected from robust wild populations in the greater Catskills region, is then used to grow out ‘founder plots’ which we utilize as a seed source for our nursery plants. By using locally adapted ecotypes in your garden or landscaping projects, you are helping to conserve our local flora as well as the myriad animals that rely on native plants. We believe this makes the difference between temporary landscaping and the creation of healthy, long-lasting populations on the landscape.
