Who We Are
Ridge and Valley Gardens is a family owned and operated business specializing in attractive and resilient plant communities that are functional and full of life. As natives to Central PA, we have developed a unique connection to the natural diversity of the Ridge and Valley ecoregion. This connection is at the heart of our business and inspires us to design, plant, and live as stewards of our community.

Why Native Plants​
​
'Native' refers to a plant that has existed naturally in an area long enough to develop essential relationships with the ecological community. We see native plants as catalysts to connection, curiosity, and well-being. This is why we carefully curate a native plant selection to promote specific ecological benefits for your landscape. ​ ​
