Our History
For over 100 years a commercial nursery has operated where Native Grounds stands today. Kori and Kristen became the new owners in 2021 and are passionate about carrying on this legacy of nursery and landscape professionals serving Siskiyou County.
Native Grounds wouldn’t be what it is today without the work of Lori Oliver & Terez Maniatis and we are committed to continuing their standards of excellence in all our efforts.
Thank you Lori & Terez for all you have done!
Our Mission
We pledge to provide distinctive quality and unparalleled service in all aspects of our business. Our success is determined by our ability to operate with our staff as a team to gain the respect and trust of our customers, suppliers, and partner vendors. We achieve this through creating an environment that supports hard work, education, communication and commitment with the end result bringing joy to people through plants and sustainability to landscapes.
We look forward to doing business with you!
