Landenberg, PA 19350

We thrive on sharing knowledge and experiences about the plants we propagate, and the land management strategies employed at North Creek. With over three acres of display gardens, watershed management areas, and trial comparisons—and 35 years’ experience of trial and error—North Creek is committed to being a resource for our customers, our industry, and our local community. From constructed wetlands, rain gardens, and bioswales to side-by-side comparison trials and display gardens demonstrating planting designs for erosion control and pollinator value, our living laboratory has countless opportunities for observation and education. Experience the seasonal transitions of our stormwater management systems and trial gardens year-round—even while dormant, plants are still hard at work! Our First Friday Garden Loop provides an opportunity for visitors to tour at their leisure via our self-guided map or join an employeeled group tour.

On the move—now administered by 16 growing facilities spanning 13 states nationwide! The Systems Approach to Nursery Stock Certification (SANC) is a systems-based method that places emphasis on how plants are produced over the course of cultivation rather than how they appear at the time of a single point of inspection. This voluntary audit-based program for plant production facilities utilizes a comprehensive approach to reduce pest risks associated with plant handling and exchange. SANC is an ongoing effort to incorporate the designated processes into existing state-based certification programs to reduce pest risk and disease movement while facilitating and expediting the handling of nursery stock.

Why SANC?

For North Creek, the SANC program has helped elevate our growing practices. Working in step with SANC, our team ensures clean, healthy plugs are produced efficiently with less handling—streamlining processes on our end saves time and money on your end—a win for our customers, a win for our staff, and a win in our effort to run a lean business.

Recognizing that each production facility is unique, SANC can be tailored to diverse types of nurseries, greenhouses, and growing facilities. North Creek is proud to be an original adopter of SANC—the 2nd nursery in Pennsylvania and the 5th nursery in the nation to receive SANC accreditation—and our team is happy to discuss the benefits and rewards this program provides our industry.
