Welcome to the Ohio Governor's Residence Museum and Heritage Gardens
Sources of Ohio Native Seeds and Plants

The following is a short list of nurseries offering native and nursery-propagated plants or seeds. Many nurseries offer plants that have been rescued with proper approval and this type of wild digging is ethical and is a good source of native plants. Supporting nurseries that propagate their own stock or sell properly rescued plants helps conservation efforts.

Nurseries that offer wild-collected plants should not be supported since this leads to habitat destruction. In addition, some nurseries use a loophole and “hold” plants for 3 months and then call them “nursery grown” even though they are actually wild-collected.

It is hard to verify the accuracy of this list, so inquire about the identity of the plant’s origin.

Note: This listing below is not necessarily exhaustive; nor is it intended to constitute an endorsement of the businesses listed.
