Strand Nursery Company is a wholesale company of ferns and wildflowers. For Fall 2004 we will be offering 10 varieties of ferns and 18 varieties of wildflowers. We have indicated which of these ferns and wildflowers are native to Wisconsin and collected entirely by our company. Those that are not native are mostly collected from the state of Tennessee and individually gone over by our company employee's to guarantee their supreme quality.


We strive to meet our customers needs, so if you don't see the product listed that you are looking for, please contact us. We may be able to collect what you need or get it from another supplier.
