Niche Gardens is a mail order nursery located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Our plants are available through our annual print catalog, this on-line catalog, and at our retail nursery. We encourage you to visit our display gardens and plant nursery here in Chapel Hill. We specialize in native perennials, trees and shrubs but carry many other hard-to-find and unusual plants including evergreens, bog plants, ground covers and ornamental grasses. Our on-site search will let you assemble a selection of plants to attract, feed and provide habitat for birds, hummingbirds and butterflies. You can also search for plants which are particularly shade tolerant or drought tolerant. Here at the nursery, we display and sell garden art made by local artists, and if you are in the Triangle area (Raleigh, Cary, Durham and Chapel Hill) or near the Greensboro and Burlington areas, we provide a garden design service.

You can order year-round here on the website and we will ship your plants when you request or at a time appropriate for your zone.

Our experienced staff can offer you assistance with the design and care of your garden. We have a great collection of plants available to make your gardens unique. We are always looking for vigorous new selections and cultivars, overlooked natives which deserve a place in the garden, as well as keeping our favorite plants available for you to introduce into your gardens.

All of our plants are nursery propagated, never dug from the wild.

Catalog: At your request, we'll send you a copy of our printed catalog. Active customers will continue to receive updated catalogs. Currently, we are only producing a spring catalog, but look for fall or special event mailings at other times during the year.

Gift Certificates: Give something special to someone special. Niche Gift Certificates are perfect for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and housewarmings. If you're giving flowers, why not give perennial flowers!

In Our Gardens: Our site is a work in progress. We will be posting new photos and information about theme gardens, special garden topics and problems, and visiting local gardens.
