Truckloads of plant materials have been delivered over the past several weeks and things are full blooming over at Candyapple Nursery and Landscaping, one of the largest nurseries in Medina County.
Situated just two miles south of the Square, the fully stocked nursery takes pride in putting together a unique offering of Ohio-grown stock you won’t find at your typical garden center or big box store.
Making sure the high-quality stock is properly acclimated to this climate and conditions in Zone 5 makes a big difference in how it thrives. The buyers at Candyapple are in tune with today’s homeowners, who prefer low maintenance and deer-resistant options.

Treating your yard to edging, irrigation systems, mowing and springtime fertilizing will encourage healthy growth all summer long.
Candyapple has also earned a reputation for offering high-end fiberglass pools, in a variety of shapes and all the bells and whistles imaginable to fit every lifestyle, from cascading multilevel configurations and built-in benches, to splash zones and walk-in entry. Though their installation schedule is mostly full for this year, now is an excellent time to sit down with the pool professionals to plan for 2024. This also allows you to lock into current pricing.
Nurturing your Green Thumb
Gardening as a hobby has skyrocketed the past year or two. Folks like knowing where their food comes from. Plus, it’s an activity that’s beneficial to your physical and mental well-being.
If this is a first time for you, or you’ve had a garden in the past and are ready to take things up a notch—no worries—the experts at Candyapple can guide you through that.
You’ll discover a bountiful variety of vegetables, including tomato plants, peppers, fruit trees and shrubs and herbs. Since they’ve been lovingly cultivated in the greenhouse, they should flourish.
Make Mom’s Day
For the gift that will delight Mom on Sunday, May 14, and beyond, don’t miss Candyapple’s Mother’s Day basket sale. You’ll find an explosion of colors and flowers represented in the right-priced hanging baskets.
Or if you want to give her a thoughtful flower or plant she’ll love season after season, the nursery also offers ones with special meanings, from rose bushes and hydrangeas to lilies and tulips.
In addition to giftable blooms, this month is when they see DIY homeowners who need to replace a tree, bush or shrub that might not have made it through winter. Since these can be cumbersome to transport home, delivery is available. Come in, pick out your stock, and it’ll be delivered right to your door.
Open to the public, the nursery is loaded with gorgeous trees, shrubs, flowers (annuals and perennials) and plant materials ready for you to plant, or the seasoned landscapers to help with.
They carry a wide variety of popular trees, including maple, blue spruce, fruit and arborvitae. Watch for top-grafted shrubs that are also popular now, such as lilacs, hydrangeas, cherry and pea shrubs.
This year, springtime in Northeast Ohio has been slightly warmer and wetter than average, and with the hard frosts hopefully behind us, now’s a great time to start planting.
Candyapple Nursery is open seven days a week.
