Nodding Onion Gardens Native Plant Nursery
Organically Raised Ohio
Native Plants
Columbia Station, Ohio
Greetings!
Marty and I have owned and operated Nodding Onion Gardens, LLC, in Columbia Station, Ohio, since 2009. We established our family business with the goal of providing locally sourced, organically raised, quality native plants. This remains our mission!
Organic Practices
We propagate our native Ohio plants using organic farming principles, the majority of which are started from seed. This not only ensures our stock remains diverse, strong and healthy, it is our passion! We strive to procure Ohio ecotype, as it has a "history" with our region. A significant portion of this seed is harvested at our nursery.
Second Season
Our Ohio native plants are sold once they are in their second season and have survived an Ohio winter outdoors!
Price - $6.00 - $7.00 each Pot Size - 6 ¾ in diameter and are 7 ¼ in high, they are considered .73 gal. We referr to them as Trade Gallons.
They tried to bury us,They didn't knowWe were seeds!

Our Vision
Small backyard wildflower gardens become the norm in the Cleveland, Ohio region and beyond. Collectively, these gardens will contribute to an improved ecosystem for both wildlife and future generations.
Zoning Regulations - Due to zoning regulations, our nursery is not open to the public. However, we do make arrangements to get our native plants into the hands of our customers!

Foot of Snow - Our native plants are currently nice and cozy under a protective blanket of snow. We will have an exact inventory count in the spring.
- Future Projects - We are excited to have purchased American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) seed and Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) plants from United Plant Savers in Rutland, OH. From Native Beeginning in Meadville, PA we aquired seed for Ramps (Allium tricoccum) and Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica). Assuming our Goldenseal, Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) and Marsh Marigolds (Caltha palustris) seed germinate it will be one busy spring. It will be a long journey before these guys will be ready for "market" but it will sure be a fun ride!
