Seed and Story

Understory is a small nursery in northern New Mexico, cultivating native plants attuned to the river valleys, bosques, and uplands of this region. At its heart is a living bond woven through people and place, root and river, seed and story.

Understory is tended by Ashley Haywood— a mother, grower, and visual storyteller originally from central AZ and rooted in northern NM the last sixteen years. This project was born from a love of Southwest rivers, plants, and the stories they carry.
