  • Values

    Healthy, diverse, and locally- adapted native plants support our community green infrastructure, food-systems, and mental health. Everyone can have access to and help create a healthy, vibrant home and community.

  • Vision

    We want to be your local resource for native, Iowa-tough plants! Though we are starting small, we plan to grow more each year, with something to offer everyone. Larger, finished material can be found at our retail partners. Smaller seedlings and plugs are directly accessible at affordable prices.

  • Mission

    Native Legacy supports human health and activities by providing trees and perennials ready to provide ecosystem services that decrease cost and dependence on chemicals and excessive labor interventions.
