It’s almost time to dust those garden gloves off! Spring will be springing before we know it, and landscaping will be the number one priority of homeowners across Ohio. If you’re already planning for how you’re going to fill your flower beds and pots, we recommend checking out some of the following local nurseries for beautiful, high-quality plants.
Started in 1929 by the Demonye brothers, this spacious greenhouse and nursery has been a local favorite for nearly a century! Conveniently located minutes from the John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Demonye’s is known for its friendly staff and stunning array of plants – including hanging baskets, perennials, annuals, tropical plants, and more. Be sure to note its sale days, too for great deals on your favorite plants!
Based in Italian Village, STUMP is not only one of the most stylish houseplant retailers we’ve seen but also has a reputation for being a great spot for plant novices. Beyond offering a wonderful and extensive selection of houseplants and wares to display them, they specialize in plant education, providing customers with expert advice, personalized recommendations, and even adorable ‘care-cards’ for each plant. If you struggle to keep your plants alive (or just want to take your plant knowledge up a level) this shop is a must-visit.
Another aesthetically pleasing nursery in the area is Plant Gays, with locations in both German Village and the East Market. We love them for their amazing array of rare and indoor plants, along with chic planters designed to elevate your space. Indoor plant design consultations and services are also on their menu, helping you choose the best plants to complement your space based on lighting and maintenance levels.
If you’re familiar with the Columbus area, chances are you’ve popped into one of the local Strader’s Garden Centers! Whether you’re envisioning a vegetable garden, fruit trees or flourishing flower beds, Strader’s has everything you need to accomplish the landscaping of your dreams. And chances are you’ll also find some incredibly cute lawn and garden decor while you’re there!
Our list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Oakland Nurseries. With locations in New Albany, Delaware, Dublin, and Clintonville, there’s a reason Oakland is the go-to spot for so many throughout Central Ohio. From exotic and native plants to ground covers, shrubs, and beyond, their nurseries and greenhouses have it all. And on the off chance you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, Oakland can even place special orders through their extensive network of suppliers to ensure you get the perfect plants for your space.
Honorable Mention: Groovy Plants Ranch
Located in Morengo (about fifteen minutes past Tanger Outlets), Groovy Plants Ranch might not be right around the corner for most Columbus residents, but it’s certainly worth the trip. Whether you’re in the market for perennials, houseplants, or more rare and exotic species, they have a wonderful and wide selection to choose from. And if you’re just along for the ride, the ranch’s quirky and eclectic decor makes exploring the space an experience in and of itself. Plus, you can really make a day out of your visit by taking a yoga, beekeeping, or pottery workshop while you’re there!
