Almanac Planting Co
About Almanac Planting Co
Almanac Planting Co is a female-owned, family-operated nursery based in Knox, Pennsylvania — in the heart of Clarion County and the Pennsylvania Wilds. Since 2019, we’ve grown from a small propagation startup on a five-acre farmette into a thriving mail-order plant company serving customers nationwide. Our mission has always been the same: cultivate healthy, high-quality plants and share the calm, joy, and beauty that gardening brings.
Our story began with a shared love of plants and a desire to build something meaningful from the ground up. Learn more about our journey and the people behind it on our Meet the Founders page.
We’re passionate about sustainable horticulture, responsible packaging, and honest communication. Every order is packed by hand using recyclable cardboard, recycled kraft paper, and starch-based packing peanuts that dissolve in water — shipped with care and backed by friendly, personal service from a small team that truly loves what we do.
Our new 40-acre farm — once a working cattle property — is being transformed into a sustainable greenhouse and nursery operation designed for long-term growth, efficiency, and plant health. Surrounded by forests and streams, it’s the perfect home base for the next chapter of Almanac Planting Co.
Our Mission
We believe in the healing power of plants — for homes, gardens, and hearts. Our mission is to make it easy for anyone to experience that peace by offering healthy, high-quality live plants at fair prices. We grow and ship responsibly, using sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging whenever possible.
Plants for a Happy, Healthy Life
Studies show that spending time with plants can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost focus and memory. Whether you’re tending a houseplant or shaping an outdoor landscape, growing something living brings real joy and calm.
Plants for a Better Environment
Our plants make spaces more beautiful and more alive. They improve air quality, create connection to nature, and help filter common pollutants like VOCs — all while supporting biodiversity. You can find more practical details on our FAQ page.
Our Commitment to Quality
We’re just as dedicated to our customers as we are to our plants. Each order is grown, described, packaged, and shipped with care so it arrives healthy and ready to thrive. Have a question? Contact us — we’re happy to help.
