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.

Carla Rosa, Terra Rosa, Purple Fiesta and King Edward are ready! Tomorrow Sept 5 from 9-4!

What day is it!? PAWPAW DAY! I'll have fruit available tomorrow at our sale. $10 an approx. pound ( $3 for a big single). It should be available for a few weeks as they ripen. I'm happy to set pick up times during the week, if you can't make the sale or i sell out fast. This is today's pick so it's while they last! Cash, Cashapp or Venmo please. These ripen gradually so fruit is available for the next week or two.

This is the Blue Winged Scolid Wasp (Scolia dubia) which is attracted by both the Swamp Goldenrod and Monarda punctata. It hunts and lays it's eggs on Japanese Beetle grubs in your soil. I have seen one Japanese beetle this year thanks to this wasp and these plants.
