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.

Due to white rot I have to move my garlic beds yearly. Much of my back field is actually dredging from the Sippo creeks ditching but the Army Corps of Engineers. This leaves mostly sand and gravel "soil". I have been digging this old bed and removing the gravel for another project. While tedious and time consuming, I will cover the bottom of the bed with a more clay based soil and refill. This should help alleviate the fast drainage and zero water retention.

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.
