Organic Farming Practices

Our Native Plants - We propagate our native Ohio plants using organic farming principles, the majority of which are started from seed. This not only ensures that 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 native plants are sold in #300 nursery pots once they are in their second season and have survived an Ohio winter! These are the same pots at the same price our customer have become accustomed to. Plant Price - $6.00 each Nursery Pot Dimensions - 6 ¾ in diameter and are 7 ¼ in high, they are considered .73 gal. We have used the term Trade Gallon. Seed Provenance - On our website, located on the bottom of each individual native plant species is a record of where our seed was obtained. Our Secret? - Soil that is teeming with life! Oh, and lots of: pumpkins, leaves, hay and kitchen scraps that our community so generously collects for us! We welcome predatory insects with open arms!

Pesticides, Herbicides and Fungicides
We do not use any type of "cide" which in Latin means "killer" or "the act of killing. Pesticides are designed to eradicate a wide range of plant problems, fungicides kill fungi and herbicides focus on eliminating unwanted plants.
