Company Background
Founded by Dave and Jen Tubbin, Second Nature at Reads Creek began in 2014 as a dream to restore the natural beauty of their Readstown property in Wisconsin's Driftless region. They have cultivated it into a community-focused destination nursery, offering a unique selection of hardy plants specifically chosen to thrive in the local climate, many of which are not found in big-box stores. The nursery is more than a plant supplier; it's a design center where expert staff provide personalized advice to help homeowners look at the big picture, ensuring their choices are right for their specific growing conditions and landscape vision. With a greenhouse, a relaxing koi pond, and a gift shop, it's a place for inspiration. The Tubbins are dedicated to growing a business the community can be proud of, hosting seasonal workshops and events that foster local engagement and creativity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your plant selection right for the Readstown area?
We specialize in plants proven to be hardy in the unique Driftless Area climate. Our focus is on varieties that can handle our specific soil conditions and temperature swings, which many common big-box store plants cannot. Our staff provides expert advice to ensure you select plants that will thrive in your particular yard's sun, soil, and moisture levels, helping you build a resilient and beautiful landscape.
Can you help with a landscape project from start to finish?
Absolutely. We offer comprehensive services, beginning with landscape design to create a cohesive plan. From there, our construction team handles everything from earthmoving and retaining walls to patio and walkway installation. We also provide ongoing care like irrigation system design, planting, pruning, and seasonal maintenance. We're your single source for turning a vision into a lasting outdoor space.
My lawn is stressed from drought and my shrubs are overgrown. What solutions do you offer?
We commonly address these local issues. For drought-stressed lawns, we can assess your irrigation system for efficiency, recommend drought-tolerant native ground covers, and provide proper lawn care guidance. For overgrown shrubs, our services include expert pruning and trimming to rejuvenate them, or we can handle complete shrub removal and replacement with more suitably sized, hardy varieties for easier long-term care.
