Our native plant garden center is dedicated to supporting conservation, preservation and ecological restoration in our community.
At Deep Roots Natives, we are excited to provide our community with local access to native plants, assisting our customers in becoming a part of the movement to bring native species to the forefront of landscaping and gardening projects.
We are in a unique position to be able to offer the average homeowner access to a wide selection of native plants and nativars for their gardens. We also have options to help customers with tight budgets through regular sales and specials and free educational opportunities year-round.
Both the NC Native Plant Society and the New Hope Audubon Society have listed us among their “highly recommended” native plant sellers in North Carolina. Many of the native species and nativars that we offer cannot be found anywhere else in the Triangle area, despite the enormous value they provide to pollinators, wildlife and our local biodiversity!
We carefully vet all of our growers and check that they use responsible practices before we ever start buying from them. Whenever possible, we grow out our own material so that we can confidently assure our customers that they’re buying pesticide-free and pest-free plants.
Most importantly, our growers are not just business partners, but also friends and colleagues. We’re part of a professional community of plant geeks, and every single one of us understands exactly how committed we all are to building a healthy and vibrant future for our industry and our planet.
At Deep Roots Natives, we strongly believe that in a world where many of us have become so disconnected from our surroundings and each other, plants give us a unique opportunity to connect with our environment and those we share it with.
Native plants present us with a tactile, beautiful and ever-changing way to interact and engage with the past, present and future of spaces as small as our backyards or as large as an entire continent. We offer plants that are suited to our ever-changing world, with drought-resistant species, low-maintenance plants, and tons of options for your pollinator gardens.
We look forward to growing together with our community in Durham and beyond and invite you to come see our plants (and maybe take some home!), chat with our knowledgeable staff, and join us in our mission to promote native plants, biodiversity, and the wellbeing of our local North Carolina ecosystems.

Maple`s here to tell everyone "Happy Holidays!"☃️
The `Blue Note` Blue-Eyed Grass is a special member of the Iris family.
It`s striking blue/violet blooms appear in the late spring to early summer. This native, self seeding plant has an extensive history and is loved by many. Not only is it beautiful, but it`s also a great food source for our birds, bee`s and butterflies!
Even with this cold weather, our Gaultheria `Cherries Berries` Wintergreens are thriving!
🍒This evergreen ground cover produces beautiful, waxy white flowers that bloom during mid Spring. Following these flowers are striking berries. They grow to be the size of cherries, hence the name. `Cherrie Berries` start to appear around late Summer to late Winter.
🍒These berries are an important source of food for birds this time of year. However, we can eat them too! The most common way of consuming these berries are to be made into a tea. Some people eat them raw too! They have a "Wintergreen Mint" taste to them.
