About Us

I was born and raised in California and lived in California for years, creating a garden with over 3000 different types of plants on a small suburban lot. But eventually, I moved out to the east coast many years ago and then I married a Jersey Girl.

We have a little under an acre in Northern New Jersey near the Ramapo River. Our little slice of North Jersey woodlands was nothing but an overgrown patch of land, covered with English Ivy and saplings. Once we began to clear the land and cut some of the trees down (sorry, but some had to go) we discovered there were tiered sections and paths under the ivy. So we updated and rebuilt what we had.

Added some ponds, bird feeders, bird houses, and dozens of flower beds, we created our little habitat.

So we took our love of plants and animals and created S&K Wildflower Rescue and Nursery, LLC. S for myself, and K for my wife Kellie, who to tell you the truth has a black thumb. But we can't hold that against her. Since I moved here to NJ, I saved numerous plants from construction sites. So not only would our new business sell plants, we would attempt to save as many wildflowers as possible.

Along with our two children, we have turned an overgrown patch of land into a thriving ecosystem that attracts many species of birds. Many live here and breed in the yard including the Pileated Woodpecker. Turkey, Bear, Fox, and a deer who has had twins in our yard for many years frequent or are residents in the yard year round.

The addition of so many native plants has increased the frogs, salamanders and snakes in the yard. The amount of insects has also increased with many more dragonflies, damselflies, worms, and butterflies each year.

We now propagate rescued plants and any plants that we raise in our garden. I am addicted to searching for new plants so when we find one that does well, we propagate them as well for sale.

We hope you enjoy our website and the plants we have for sale. We would love to hear from you.
