Figwort Farm is a native plant nursery, located at our home in mid-coast Maine. We are on 5 acres of old pasture land, with an old stone foundation on site. The property is about half field and half woodand with a good amount of red maple swamp. We have a huge prevalence of invasive species including: black swallowwort, Asian bittersweet, multi-flora rose, morrow's honeysuckle, and vinca (to name a few). We are slowly working to remove the invasive plants (which feels quite overwhelming!), and replace them with our own seed grown native plants.
We are also working to transition the field area into native plant beds for both seed production and plant production as well as vegetable gardens for our own use.
We have only been on this property since September of 2024 and are working hard to make it a more appealing to pollinators and other wildlife!
