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.

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.

It's a puddle party by the stock pond. I'm in Grant County, WV. There are dragonflies and puddle parties by type. They are getting minerals from the damp earth which is called puddling.

The cool weather has allowed me to get some Jewelweed (Impatiens pallida) and Touch Me Not (impatiens cadensis) into pots. These are favorites of Hummingbirds in the late summer and who doesn’t like to make the seeds pop! These are annuals and they are flowering so you should be able to get some seed production for next year.
