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 to $7.00 each Wholesale Pricing AvailablePot Size - 6 ¾ in diameter and are 7 ¼ in high, they are considered .73 gal. We refer to them as Trade Gallons.

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.

Preparing for the 2026 Season!
- Next season's, beautiful Ohio Native Plants have been "tucked in" for their long winter's rest! We have spent the months of September and October preparing the nursery by hulling pots into a mixture of: compost, leaf humus and garden soil; which in turn evolves into potting soil for next spring!
- We are Grateful, for our neighbors, who are willing to drag their leaves across the street and into the nursery! They serve as the final protective, winter blanket.
- Inventory - Our 2026 Inventory Page is our next project.
- Thank you for your encouragement and support.
- See you in the Spring,
- Beth & Marty Coyne
