Set on 75 acres in the Connecticut River Valley of western Massachusetts, Nasami Farm grows New England native plants from seed that we harvest sustainably from healthy, well-established wild populations throughout the region, or from ecotypic seed increase programs. Our goal is ensuring genetic diversity to offset the clones sold by traditional nurseries and to build resilience into a landscape facing change. We prioritize irrigating with rainwater, feed our plants with organic fertilizer, and use biological controls rather than chemicals as our first line of defense against pests. We use no systemic pesticides, such as neonicotinoids.

We focus on propagation and research to bring different and hard-to-grow native plants into production. In addition to propagating plants for our two Garden Shops, we also work with our Conservation colleagues and contract with other organizations to cultivate plants for the restoration of wild habitats. And, in our classroom, we host classes in native plant horticulture and botany.

Please note: When you call our switchboard (413-397-9922), you will get a recording with a staff directory. Between May and early October, when our Garden Shop is open, you will be able to reach the shop team at Nasami separately at 413-241-5614. For other Native Plant Trust phone numbers, see the Staff & Departments Directory.
