Welcome

Johnson’s Nursery, Inc.™

Welcome to Johnson’s Nursery, Inc™. Just like the nurseries of yesterday, we put our heart and soul into growing plants. Whether started from seed, graft or other means, our locally grown nursery stock is nurtured and harvested with a time honored purpose in mind – high quality plants, locally grown. Our plant propagation department is one of the most successful research and development groups in the green industry. We use the latest cutting-edge techniques to produce the finest quality plants, constantly evaluating and perfecting them in the pursuit of excellence. Most of our B&B stock is grown locally on over 500 acres in Jackson, WI for harvest with a selection big enough to accommodate large orders of the most popular plants, as well as, unique, harder to find varieties. If we can’t get the plants that our clients want by conventional means, we find a way to propagate them. We start growing plants from cuttings, grafts and seed in our efforts to bring exciting new introductions into production. Some of the practices we use are root pruning on oaks, growing local ecotype native plants, clean cultivation and container production. Some of the hard to obtain varieties we grow are Bottlebrush Buckeye, Compact Koreanspice Viburnum, Carpinus caroliniana, the Aesculus species, and Acer pseudo-sieboldiana. Consider us your team of consultants to help you maximize the potential of your landscape business, municipal department, or garden center. During the 50 plus years that we have been in business, our clients have come to trust the fine quality of our nursery stock and the old-fashioned customer service we offer.

Using Wisconsin Native Plants in the Landscape

Johnson’s Nursery, Inc.™

Johnson’s Nursery, Inc.™ takes pride in bringing our clients quality, locally grown nursery stock. We are dedicated to providing a diverse selection of landscape plants for the Midwest. Part of that selection is a great variety of native trees, shrubs, evergreens, vines and perennial flowering plants. Wisconsin offers a rich flora from which to draw. The eastern deciduous forests of North America extend into Wisconsin and blend with the coniferous forests of the north and the prairie grasslands of the west, creating an amazing collage of plant communities. Wisconsin native plants are beautiful. They offer all of the color and aesthetic interest that we could need. They are also very functional, having evolved over time to prosper in our environment. Using native plants connects us to our state’s natural heritage and creates unique, charasmatic landscapes. When we plant native plants, not only do we preserve the vegetation that was once there, but also the countless other lifeforms such as birds, insects, mammals, fungi and more. Native plants can be used in landscapes in a variety of ways. They can be incorporated into more traditional landscapes or a desiganted part of a landscape can be converted into a native garden. Contact Johnson’s Nursery to find out more about using native plants in your next landscape project.

See page 115 for a list of some our favorite natives that we grow!
