Failure isn't an option for ecosystem restoration. Neither is wasted time or money. So we use a full range of nursery techniques to produce plants with the highest survival in challenging sites, in the most cost-effective sizes, then deliver or ship to meet our customers tight schedules.

Coastal Plain Conservation Nursery, Inc., established in 1999, is the largest provider of container-grown native plants for ecosystem restoration in North Carolina.

Technology transfer is an integral part of our mission. We help our customers to select the best plant species and size for each application, and to design sites which maximize plant growth at minimal cost.

We propagate our plants by seed in containers. Seed propagation prevents noxious plants from being accidentally introduced into pristine sites. It also maintains the genetic diversity plants need to thrive in these settings.

We choose containers which minimize the price our customers pay while maximizing results - consistently robust, vigorous plants that thrive when installed in their target applications.

We work closely with designers and installation contractors to provide the top performing native species for stormwater wetlands and wet detention basins, stream and riparian buffer restoration, pocosin and Carolina bay restoration, and shoreline erosion control.
