Website

Flower of Carolina is a family-owned native plant nursery, apiary, and meadery based in Saxapahaw, NC, along the Haw River. Mackenzie and Philip are entomologists, who are deeply knowledgeable about native plants, insects, and gardening, and passionate about sharing this expertise with our customers.

We believe everyone should have access to a wide diversity of affordable native plants, along with the knowledge to help them thrive. We take genuine joy in connecting with market customers—whether they’re searching for a specific plant for a unique spot or seeking general gardening advice. Our informative plant signage, which details the plant’s site preferences and native region in North Carolina, etc are an opportunity to see and learn about these plants.

Native plants are the foundation of healthy ecosystems, and by empowering individuals with the right tools, we can help communities create spaces that support more than just humans. Through our knowledge and curated plant selection, we strive to foster community, promote environmental stewardship, and encourage sustainable gardening practices.

Visit our website to learn about each and every one of our (~300) species currently available for packaged delivery or local pick up and for more information about our business.

Flower of Carolina sells at the Saturday Market from March through November or December.
