We want to continue to make Compton Gardens THE place for native plants in Northwest Arkansas. Below is our wish list of native plants we'd love to add to Compton Gardens. If you have any of these plants in your garden or on your land and would be willing to share a piece for our gardeners to transplant, we'll happily come to your home or land to dig them up. We take great care to ensure we only take enough to develop in our garden and not disturb the growth in yours.
