Working Gardens

Working Gardens We are a sustainable nursery and specialize in native woodlands, spring ephemerals and shade plants. No chemicals and we use organic methods.

Open since 2007
I post events for my sales but other times are by appointment. Even 15 min notice works for me. A small nursery featuring 100+ native perennial and woodlands plants. 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)
In the pre Covid times Nursery Sales were weekends starting late April through mid May with Hours: Friday 10am-7pm and Saturday 10am-4pm.

I took a walk on one of the cloudy days and got a photo of what's blooming in the gardens. I need to get my good camera out for the close ups of insects :)

I still have a fully stocked sales floor :) I've added Wood Poopy seedlings to the mix. They are a great woodland with yellow blooms and cool seed pods. Prefers rich woodlands soils but will tolerate drier locations with some care.

Set up a time to visit. I don't need much notice!

Happy Pride Month!

This bee looks like it's making or searching for a nesting spot. I was lucky to notice her working.

The rains have made everything really pop! It has inspired my Clivia miniata plant to bloom..with 3 blooms! They are a spectacular bloom that will last up to 3 weeks . Now the good part is they are very easy to care for in the house or outside in summer. The bloom cycle can be controlled by not watering for 10-26 weeks. They $40 for the smaller size and $60 for the larger. All are bloom size and one will be blooming very soon.
