Thank you for a fantastic season!
NBN is wrapping up our 2025 planting season —it has been so inspiring! Together we learned, gardened and made a home for birds, butterflies and so many bees 🐝🐝 Chicago-area gardeners, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Though the nursery is closed, we are still booking Consultations, and now is the perfect time to get a plan in place for spring —or even for fall garden prep if you're really excited to get going :)
