A Company Born from a Lifelong Dream & Passion
Take yourself back to when you were a child and you discovered something new. In your eyes,
it was so spectacular that you decided it was what you wanted to do when you grew up.
You didn’t know how and you didn’t know when, but you knew that it was a magic you
wanted in your life forever.
Most of us do not get to turn our childhood fantasies into reality, but Blake Cothron did.
As a boy, he loved exploring nature and connecting with the natural world in a way that many of us lose as we age. His little 6′ x 3′ home garden in his parent’s suburban Kentucky backyard in the 1990s was started out of curiosity but within a few years turned into an intense passion for plants, gardening, and nature. He soon developed a desire to learn everything he could about fruiting plants and trees in the early 2000s. This led to him pruning neighbor’s trees and planting trees of his own. This intensified with him traveling the USA working in organic orchards and nurseries, trialing different species and cultivars, experimenting with techniques, 1000s of hours of researching and trying new strategies for over 20 years.
He kept his childhood dream alive by building and founding Peaceful Heritage Nursery LLC in 2014, which allows him to assist many to reconnect to the magic of the Earth by creating their own natural backyard oasis, growing food, and helping wildlife through native plantings.
He has published two books on organic agriculture, currently hosts the Bluegrass Permaculture Guild, uploads free, educational videos to Youtube about sustainable agriculture, leads classes and lectures at respectable Universities like Cornell and KSU, as well as gives free workshops. His knowledge and passion, as well as his strong Christian values and impeccable quality and service standards are imbued in everything Peaceful Heritage Nursery does and is. ‘God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.‘ Hebrews 6: 10-12
What Distinguishes Us From Other Nurseries?
First what we are not: we’re not a big box online nursery. We’re not a cheap tree mill. What we are is a family-owned company that cares about what we do, how we show up to the world, and how we serve you as our customer. We are a small team of horticultural artisans, plant explorers, and highly skilled plant propagators. This is our craft, our passion, and our role in society to try and make the world a better place through education and organic agriculture. Our company prioritizes the education, empowerment, and success of those who choose us.
We recognize that there are too many unscrupulous and low-quality Internet nurseries out there that have ripped people off and hurt the trust in online nurseries, so we strive to be the opposite and surprise you with our high quality products and services.
Everything we do, from the way we pack your order, to never spraying synthetic
pesticides, is for the good of our planet. When you purchase from us, you are
supporting a small business that goes above and beyond to provide the utmost care to both planet and customer. And, if something goes amiss along the way, we show up to make it right and come up with a viable solution. Our full Terms and Guarantee can be found HERE
