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 2010. We established our family business with the goal of providing locally sourced, organically raised, quality native plants. This continues to remain 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

Ohio native plants are sold in gallon pots (nursery trade) once they are in their second season and have survived an Ohio winter outdoors!

Our Vision

That 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, inquires are certainly welcome.
