Nursery
Maypop Hill Nursery specializes in native plants of the Southeast US,
as well as a few fruit and vegetable plants that grow well in the humid South.
We sell our plants at the nursery and local community markets.
Contact us directly to ensure that we will be present at home or at venues.
Several times a year we attend garden shows in South Louisiana.
Check our booths and events, which are listed in the newsletter, also available by subscription.
