Hey everybody!
It's autumn in the northern hemisphere, which means we're coming up on the best time for planting trees, shrubs, and other perennials. With that in mind, I thought it would be good to have a list of nurseries that do fall shipping or provide bare root plants for their communities. I'll sticky this thread until winter-ish, at which point we'll add it to the sidebar as a resource to refer back to.
Please share nurseries with which you've had good experiences, or whose ethics you appreciate, or any that generally give good vibes - this is your chance to reward them with additional business for being good community members and stewards. Please remember to add some kind of geographical information as well! There are plenty of nurseries that have large shipping areas, but the people who use your suggestion will be best served by having access to regionally acclimated plants.
This has gone like other "cats are not native to everywhere and are massively impactful to the areas in which they are introduced" threads has gone, and while it has been more civil than the last, is going a bit sideways.
Depriving cats of enjoyment and engagement is not nice, that's why we as owners can play with them using toys designed to satisfy their predatorial urges. Leaving cats unsupervised outside is also not nice to local bird populations, or those unsupervised cats who suffer unspeakable outcomes.
