Why our plants are right for your projects: 1. SEED PROPAGATION Most of our propagation is done from seed. This allows us to maintain provenance records. We can grow site-specific plants for your project. Greater genetic diversity results when not using cuttings/clones, resulting in a heartier plant. 2. MYCORRHIZAE Mycorrhizae is added to all our plugs.This soil fungi forms a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of a plant. The majority of plants naturally form these associations in their respective habitats. This provides the following benefits:
- improved root growth
- improved nutrient and water uptake
- reduced drought stress
- improved plant growth
- reduced transplant shock
3. HIGH STANDARDS Plants are grown to meet and/or exceed the British Columbia Nursery and Landscape Association standards. 4. CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT We conduct on-site research and trials to uncover better methods to grow our crops for increased vigour or efficiency. We also support industry research. Dr. Janice Elmhirst works in our nursery regularly and we are business partners with BCIT's Centre for the Advancement of Green Roof Technology. 5.EXPERIENCE We have been working with reclamation companies for nearly twenty years. Our plants are used by Municipal volunteer organizations such as Evergreen and SHaRP for restoration and habitat creation. NATS' has grown a whole lot of plants over the years and current production is at 2.6 million plants a year! 6. SELECTION Our catalogue lists all the usual suspects, which we grow in great quantity.
