What Our Customers Are Saying...

"10,000 Trees for the Rouge, who organizes one of the nation's largest spring planting events, sourced wildflowers from Native Plants in Claremont. Karen and her team showed up with perfectly beautiful flowers, along with a training session to ensure that our planting coaches were well educated on how to plant them. Our event turned out to be a huge success, and Native Plants in Claremont was a key part of that!"
"Karen Abrahams and her dedicated nursery team have always been an essential element of Alter Eden designs and installations. The kind of loving connection with the land that Karen espouses ensures that I am bringing the best plants at the best prices to my clients while providing the safest and most forage rich species for the pollinators I plant for."
"Native Plants in Claremont has always come through in helping us restore the local ecosystems we serve and expressing people's celebration of life."
