NURSERY CATALOGUE 2018 Specializing in native trees, shrubs, ferns and wildflowers grown from local sources. Sales from our nursery help support our restoration and education efforts across P.E.I.
MACPHAIL WOODS NURSERY
May 3rd - June 2nd
Thursdays through Saturdays - 9am to 5pm
The Macphail Woods Tree and Shrub Nursery is located on the Sir Andrew Macphail Homestead in Orwell. We
grow native trees and shrubs for sale to the public and use in our own planting projects.
We offer planting ideas and solutions for everyone, from woodlot owners wanting to restore native forests to
the urban homeowners interested in attracting wildlife.
Our stock comes from wild seed sources & cuttings propagated and grown in our nursery. We are continually
expanding our collection of native plants, exploring Prince Edward Island looking for rare and interesting
species.
ABOUT US
The Macphail Woods Ecological Forestry Project is an initiative of the Environmental Coalition of
Prince Edward Island.
It combines protection of the natural areas with wildlife enhancement, forest stewardship,

NATIVE SHRUBS
One question often heard is “why plant shrubs
instead of trees?” At Macphail Woods, we use a
combination of trees and shrubs in all our
plantings. In addition to enhancing biodiversity,
they also provide food sources and habitat for
birds and other animals.
Benefits of planting native shrubs:
• Controlling erosion along streams
• Creating windbreaks & hedgerows
• Improving fish habitat
• Improving other wildlife habitat
• Building soil
• Landscaping
• Edible and medicinal uses
• Attracting beneficial species
