Visit Baker Environmental Nursery at Southeast Green 2026 – Booth #219 Baker Environmental Nursery is proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at Southeast Green 2026, taking place June 9–11, 2026, at The Classic Center in Athens, Georgia. As one of the Southeast’s trusted wholesale suppliers of native grasses, sedges, perennials, rushes, and wetland plants, we invite landscape contractors, municipalities, garden centers, landscape architects, engineers, restoration professionals, and wholesale buyers to visit us at Booth #219 and learn how native plant solutions can enhance projects of every size. This year’s show is a great opportunity to meet “The Grass Man,” Doug Baker, owner of Baker Environmental Nursery and a long-time advocate for the use of native plants in sustainable landscapes. Doug will be available throughout the event to discuss plant selection, project planning, species performance, and sourcing strategies for everything from commercial developments and municipal plantings to ecological restoration and stormwater management projects. Whether you’re looking for a specific species or planning a large-scale installation, we’re ready to help you find the right plant material for the job. At Baker Environmental Nursery, we specialize in growing high-quality native plants that thrive throughout the Southeast. Our inventory includes an extensive selection of native grasses and sedges that provide beauty, durability, wildlife value, and environmental benefits. Popular grasses such as Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), Bushy Bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus), Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis acutiflora) are widely used for erosion control, pollinator habitat, naturalized landscapes, and green infrastructure projects. Our diverse collection of Carex species offers solutions for everything from wetland edges and rain gardens to woodland plantings and commercial landscape applications. In addition to grasses and sedges, Baker Environmental Nursery offers a broad selection of native perennials that provide season-long color and ecological value. Species such as Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae), Joe-Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum), and Blazing Star (Liatris spicata) help support pollinators while creating attractive and resilient landscapes. These plants are commonly specified for commercial developments, municipal beautification projects, habitat restoration efforts, and native landscape installations throughout the region. For stormwater management, shoreline stabilization, and wetland restoration projects, we also grow a variety of wetland and aquatic species. Plants such as Soft Rush (Juncus effusus), Pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), Lizard’s Tail (Saururus cernuus), and Horsetail (Equisetum hyemale) are frequently used in bio-retention basins, constructed wetlands, detention ponds, stream restoration projects, and other green infrastructure applications. These species not only provide functional environmental benefits but also contribute to healthier ecosystems and improved water quality. One of the advantages of working with Baker Environmental Nursery is our commitment to serving the professional green industry. We are a wholesale nursery focused on supporting contractors, municipalities, re-wholesalers, garden centers, landscape architects, engineers, and restoration professionals.
