Nasami Farm and Sanctuary
The native plant nursery of New England Wild Flower Society
NOTE: The hiking trails are closed during construction of the Native Plant Center.
Nasami Farm sits on 75 beautiful acres in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. Our rapidly growing nursery facility at Nasami Farm provides a source of our native plants, including hard-to-find woody material, for landscape professionals, homeowners, and the green industry.
The Society is currently constructing its Native Plant Center at Nasami Farm. Please watch this site for progress reports and in 2009 for the opening of the Center and Nasami Farm Sanctuary.
The sheer beauty of Nasami Farm, with its wide fields sweeping up to Sugarloaf Mountain and its diversity—from the wood turtles in Roaring Brook to the bobolinks in the meadow—makes it a magnet for scientists and nature lovers alike. —New York Times

Nasami Farm Nursery is closed for the season. We look forward to seeing you again in April 2009, when we reopen for an exciting spring season. For contract growing, wholesale orders, and volume orders, please contact nursery@newenglandwild.org.
