Native plants and landscapes that restore and reconnect,
serving communities in and around South Jersey

Restoring Mother Earth Together

Native Plants + Ecological Landscaping Offerings

Our goal is to empower homeowners, schools, and business owners to restore the piece of land they have, no matter the size, to a beautiful, healthy, sustainable landscape.

Our vision is an environment restored to its original beauty and a healthier community of people committed to ecological gardening, conservation, and sustainability. An ecologically diverse region full of lush native plant gardens and meadows where songbirds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial wildlife thrive. A world where kids can still chase fireflies on summer nights and pesticide warning flags no longer decorate the lawns of neighbors.

Our offerings include Custom Native Plant Orders, Eco-Friendly Landscape Consultations, and Ecological Landscape Design. We also host pop-up native plant sales in South Jersey, and sell Pollinator Garden Kits with Jersey natives. It’s our desire to make creating beautiful native plant gardens and landscapes affordable and fun, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. - Rachel Carson

Wild Roots Reviews: Bringing Nature Home

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul. – Alfred Austin
