Our Roots
National Plant Network™ was formed when Ball Horticultural Company and Cottage Hill Nursery, Inc. joined to form a new company designed to bring growers and retailers from across the country together.
Ball began in 1905—starting as a wholesaler of cut flowers. The company has grown to be a leader in all facets of horticulture with breeders, research and development teams, suppliers and distribution companies in 20 countries on six continents.
Cottage Hill Nursery has been the source of premium plants for many top nurseries and garden centers from coast to coast since 1947 and has been a leading source of direct-to-the-consumer live plants for decades—long recognized for providing a vast assortment of high-quality plants.
