We use no pesticides and only organic methods. All plants are field grown on property. We have 100-200 varieties with 80-90% being native and Ohio native is a focus. Typically i put 75-100 varieties on the sales floor

each year. I also supply the Stark Parks Native plant sale each spring. See the Photo section of my page for photos of native and non native offerings. I can also offer large mature plants bare root and wholesale. Consultations are available. We now do everything by appointment. You can preorder for pickup as well. I'll have lists posted in early spring and my website will have info on the plants (coming soon)

As you plan your gardens this might be helpful tool. We will be having increasingly hotter temps and this shows the number of increased days we need AC. Currently it's at +5 but 2060 shows +88.

Type your city to see how the number of days demanding AC has changed in your city since the 1980s and how it’s forecasted to grow by 2060.

I will have Pawpaws this season but they are coming on slowly :) I still have seedling trees and seeds available for sale as well as a nice selection of perennials. You can set appointments by texting me. Drop ins a re welcome too but it's best o let me know your coming. 15 minutes can be enough lead time :)

I'll be replanting the plants gradually over the next few weeks. The fall is the best time to plant as they set their roots and are settled in the spring.

Well done!

a Montgomery County teen might have a better plan for getting rid of those nasty spotted lanternflies.

Rachel Bergey, 14, started caring because they were hogging up the tree she likes to climb.

Then she found out she might not ever be able to climb her tree anymore if the spotted lanternfly did it what it does and kills trees.

So she got to work. When the bugs start crawling up the tree they hit the foil ring. They die about 24 hours later. She killed 1,200 of them in two weeks with just two traps.

Bergey is headed to Washington D.C. next month. She's one of 30 middle schoolers competing in a national science competition.
