Nodding Onion Gardens

Where the Wildflowers Grow

Columbia Station, Ohio, USA


Native Plant Nursery - Nodding Onion Gardens is a family run native plant, nursery, located in Columbia Station, Ohio. We propagate and raise a variety of wildflowers that are suitable for either: rain, prairie, woodland or pollinator gardens. To encourage diversity in our stock all but five species were started from seed which was either collected from our gardens or purchased from reputable companies. See individual pages for plant provenance.

 

We are proud of the fact that we are implementing holistic agricultural practices including: using our compost for aerated teas, plant mulching and cultivating IMO (indigenous micro organisms). 

 


We are striving to propagate wildflowers that are listed as endangered or threaten as well as raise species that play a significant role in the development of our native pollinators; whose responsibility it is to pollinate our trees, vegetables, fruits and flowers. 


Our wildflowers will be available at the Frostville Farmer's Market once or twice each month during the 2012 season. See our News and Events Calendar for details.

What is "Goin' On ?" - 2012

May 19 - Once again this week, I would like to thank everyone who attended the Frostville Farmer's Market. Your questions and suggestions are certainly keeping me on my toes. 

The majority of our plants are offered in gallon pots and are second season plants. This is an advantage as native plants generally flower their second year.

June 9 - Our next market  day at the Frostville Farmer's Market.
