Lady Fern’s Native Plants

I became a plant mom back in 2019. I'm still learning. But, it's wonderful gig. I was driving around Norfolk when I drove past Lady Ferns a few times. I finally stopped in and checked it out. At first glance I could not tell what I was w going to walk into. I parked next to her truck, since it said no drive thru on a sign nearby. I walked inside with my kiddos, and met Fern. She was elbow deep in dirt planting. I loved seeing her do her craft. She took time to talk to me. I have been on the hunt for a very easy plant that does not require sun. She helped me out. We headed outside to find so many stunning flowers and plants. I came across red bee balm. I have never seen that before. The price was perfect, $9! So I bought 2, and another perennial flower. In all it was the best $32 I spent! Fern helps it other businesses with their plant needs as well. She even has some education under her belt, she is a wealth of knowledge.

Make Lady Fern's Native Plants your first stop for plant shopping! It is by far the best local plant shop to get what you need for your yard/garden. Nicole carries a plethora of native plantings so you know what you are getting will survive in our zone. She is knowledgeable and willing to take the time to help you find what works for your gardening needs. I have purchased beautiful hydrangeas, muhly grass, blue-eyed grass, tickseed, and more. Always a pleasure shopping at Lady Fern!

Excellent selection of native plants. The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend them.

Was looking for a local place that could supply me with native plants and shrubs. I stumbled across this place and let me tell you it is well worth the drive, I'm in Kempsville so it took some time to get here! Not only does this place have plenty of stock, (full sun, partial shade, full shade, etc) it is ran by a woman who is a wealth of information. She is able to discuss the care and characteristics of each and every item for sale on the lot. You certainly will not get that kind of attention and information at a big box store! Not only that but all of the items are natives. The best thing being is that after planting the plants are already acclimated and able to thrive in our soils and habitats, making them easier to maintain and flourish! Would totally recommend this place to all I know!
