Asherah's Garden & Nursery
About Us

The Garden:
Asherah's Garden & Nursery is a 6 acre nursery located in the ancestral homelands of the Lenape, Mahican, and Wappinger peoples. We focus on growing native basketry as well as dual purpose plants.
We feel there is room to appreciate the plants native to our region and incorporate them into any basket maker's practice. In addition to growing perennials, we host Wild Basketry classes and grow plant material for basketry.
The Steward:
My name is Max Sechzer and I am the caretaker of Asherah's Garden & Nursery. I am a first generation immigrant, farmer, forager, and basket maker. I am passionate about helping others create relationships and community with the plant world.
In addition to basketry, I love spending time gardening, baking, and needlebinding.
