Wild Ridge Plants, LLC is owned and operated by the wife and husband team, Rachel Mackow and Jared Rosenbaum.
We are located in Pohatcong Township, New Jersey where Warren County’s rolling farmland meets the rugged ridges of the Highlands. the Musconetcong River, and the Delaware River.
We combine our experience in restoration, stewardship, and botany with our passion for reconnecting people with the traditional uses of wild plants. We offer a comprehensive toolkit of services including a native plant nursery, habitat restoration design, botanical surveys, and ecological workshops. We take inspiration from a deep study of the natural world, and from ethnobotany, permaculture, herbalism, and foraging.
