Rewild is a small, specialty nursery focusing on perennials that are native to Connecticut and the northeast. Most of our plants are grown from locally collected seed using organic methods, and are grown in peat-free soil.

Their goal is to support the growing interest among homeowners to garden in ways that meet the needs of pollinator insects and birds (which rely on the insects to feed their young), and to help homeowners achieve a home landscape that is both beautiful to us and beneficial to the wildlife around us.
