Episode 11 Blue Stem Natives- Growing a Native Plant Nursery

Kristen Nicholson and Britt Drews are the co-founders of Blue Stem Natives, a

woman owned native-only nursery based in Norwell, Massachusetts.

Since launching in 2021, they’ve been helping gardeners and land stewards

across New England access high-quality native plants while promoting wildlife-

friendly landscapes, straight-species selections, and sustainable growing

practices. Their work is rooted in a simple but powerful mission: making native

plants easier to learn about, easier to buy, and easier to use in everyday

landscapes.
