Nursery Behind the Scenes
Welcome to the heart of Natorp's!
Natorp’s Plant & Tree Nursery
Growing Great Gardens Since 1916
Some gardens begin with a plan. Natorp’s began with a simple idea: grow better plants.
In 1916, William A. Natorp came to Cincinnati from Germany and began working as a landscape designer. When he couldn’t find plants that met his standards, he decided to grow them himself. That decision became Natorp’s Nursery.
Today, more than a century later, we grow more than one million plants across 333 acres in Cincinnati—including trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and edible plants.
See What’s Growing
There’s something special about seeing plants growing where they begin.
Our growers spend each season testing new varieties alongside proven favorites, watching how plants perform and selecting those that deserve a place in your garden. It’s a hands-on process that combines experience, curiosity, and a genuine love of plants.
The result is a collection chosen to give gardeners more beautiful possibilities.
