About us

In situ; in the natural or original position or place

In situ Native Plant Nursery is located within the Sustainable Nantucket Farm at Mt. Vernon Farm-a Land Bank Property. We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with island farmers and be a part of the change we want to see. We are working hard to bring native, straight species plants to Nantucket homeowners and landscapers.

We specialize in straight species, Nantucket native, and regionally native plants

With the help and guidance of Nantucket Conservation Foundation, we are working hard to make more native plants, flowers, grasses and more available to Nantucket residents, environmental groups, nonprofits, and landscaping community

Open as of May 2026

Lots of beautiful straight-species native plants will be hitting the nursery. Peruse our selections to begin designing your newest native pollinator garden!
