Poplar Ridge Tree Farm and Nursery

PRT logo green Poplar Ridge Tree Farm & Nursery

Owners Ron and Christine Helle purchased the former O'Leary Christmas Tree Farm in 2005 from then owner Tom O'Leary. Mr. O'Leary was very helpful in teaching these former flatland crop farmers the ins and outs of growing Christmas trees.

We have been expanding on the fine start Mr. O'Leary gave us and in 2011 we started propagating and selling nursery stock. In 2014 we added flower annuals, perennials, and vegetable plants to our Spring lineup and in 2018 fruit trees and berry plants. As we continue to expand we would like to thank all our customers, present and past, for you business and invite you to continue being our guests at the farm.

Poplar Ridge Tree Farm and Nursery is proud of our ties to the Morgan County and SE Ohio area. We have been serving our local friends and neighbors, as well as folks who drive several hours, for 15 years. We take pride in our ability to propagate and grow quality plants using an integrated pest management model to provide superior quality plants with limited chemical use. This allows us to be good stewards to our environment.

We look forward to seeing you!

petunia flower flats
Annuals & Perennials
Our flower plants are started right here in our greenhouses while the snow is still on the ground. Many sleepless nights are spent tending these plants to keep the growing conditions inside the greenhouses just right; even when just outside the glass it is bitter cold. These plants are grown here and finished just in time for our growing season. Most big box retailers bring plants in from southern growers and sell them weeks before it's safe to plant them outside.

By the pack, flat or pot.

Vegetable Plants
We plant and sell the largest selection of heirloom, unusual, and non-GMO plants anywhere in the area and we are expanding every year. If you are looking for a variety that you can't find in many other places, there is a good chance we have it. These are a favorite for many gardeners.

We also carry a nice selection of hybrid heavy producers for the many home canners in our area.

In packs and flats.

flowering hanging baskets
Hanging Baskets
We grow a beautiful assortment of hanging baskets every year. These baskets are started in February every winter and finished out just in time for Mother's Day. We use Begonias, Wave and regular Petunias, Pansies mixed with Coleus to make some of the nicest, yet affordable, locally grown flower baskets around. Stop by to check out our selection.

Our plants are never shipped in from the South.

Ready for Mother's Day.
