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 wide variety of native trees, shrubs, evergreens, vines, and perennial flowering plants.

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 flourish in our environment. Using native plants connects us to our state’s natural heritage and creates unique, charismatic landscapes. When we plant native plants, not only do we preserve the vegetation that was once there, but also the countless other wildlife 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 designated part of a landscape can be converted into a native garden.
