Your Partner in Ecological Integrity
& Western Restoration
​
We are a small, women-owned business focused on delivering high-quality plants & customer service!
Our Mission:
Restoration at Scale
For over 30 years, Great Bear Native Plants has been more than a nursery; we have been a foundational partner in the ecological health of the Rocky Mountain West. We don't just grow plants; we grow the infrastructure of the landscape. From the reclamation of mine sites and public utilities to the conservation of critical wetlands and riparian buffers, our work is defined by the belief that a healthy environment is the bedrock of a healthy community.
The Corvallis Move
In late 2025, we consolidated our operations at our new facility at 282 Brothers Way in Corvallis, Montana. This 13-acre production hub represents a significant expansion of our capacity, allowing us to better serve our B2B partners, government agencies, and the dedicated homeowners of the Bitterroot Valley. This facility isn't just where we work—it’s where we clean, process, and propagate over 200 species of native wildflowers, grasses, and shrubs to ensure the genetic integrity of every project we touch.
The GBNP Difference:
Expertise You Can Trust
We believe that authentic marketing is an extension of real business operations. At GBNP, that means our "marketing" is simply our expertise in action.
