Sprout Natives
Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself
Sprout Natives is a tiny backyard nursery run by Native Plants, in Richmond, Virginia. We were overwhelmed with joy when Wilding and Kierstin, two very playful human mates, accepted our invitation to be the faces of our operation.
Our mission is to help you feel what has been forgotten. To reconnect humans with the flora, fauna, and natural cycles of the world we all share.
Reunited, The World spins as one.

The help we offer
The real work happens in the ground itself. If you need a helping hand, Wilding and Kierstin will answer the call.
- Brush clearing — reclaiming overgrown or neglected ground
- Weeding — pulling what doesn't belong
- Digging & planting — getting the ground ready for new plants
- Guidance & garden planning — help finding the right spot, or encouragement to go wild
- Mindfulness & wellness sessions — guided time in the garden: quieting the mind, slowing the pace, and keeping time with Nature's cycles
Your garden can become a sanctuary from the noise of the world and its exhausting pace.
