Vinland Valley Nursery has been growing plants just south of Lawrence since 1998, and is the area's only retail greenhouse and nursery growing plants and offering maintenance services using only organic methods. Vinland Valley Nursery has been certified as Monarch Waystation #1085 since 2007. Specializing in native plants, VVN offers an extensive list of perennials and woodies, and owners Doug Davison and Amy Albright like to say every day is a native plant sale!
