Here is a list of plant nurseries near the Dayton area where you can buy heirloom tomato seedlings. I looked for heirloom vegetable seedling sources too, but was unable to find any online.
Burkhart's Nursery, at 1530 E. Central Ave. in Miamisburg carries 5 or 6 heirloom tomato varieties.
Knollwood Garden Center in Beavercreek has heirloom tomatoes. http://knollwoodgardens.com/
Siebenthaler's Nursery in Beavercreek (937-427-4110) carries several varieties of heirloom tomato seedlings. Siebenthaler's in Centerville (937-434-1326) said they have a whole rack of heirloom vegetable and tomato seeds.
At the University of Dayton, the Marianist Environmental Education Center http://meec.udayton.edu/ has a Native Plant Workshop June 11, and Native Plant Sale June 19. If you have a lawn, Native Plants are a great way to conserve water and attract birds & butterflies.
I don't know if Wegerzyn Gardens Metropark has ongoing plant sales - they and Cox Arboretum just hosted plant sales last weekend. Wegerzyn Gardens seems to be a hub of the local food movement with a focus towards sustainability. http://www.metroparks.org/Parks/WegerzynGarden/Home.aspx
If there are any small natural foods grocers in your area, they may be a good place to look for chemical-free herb seedlings. Two of our main clients are cooperative community markets. These types of locally-owned retailers attract the customers who know where to look for organic, chemical-free and locally grown foods. Because this demographic often embraces a do-it-yourself spirit, I wouldn't be surprised if your local natural markets are having plant sales this year.
Dorothy Lane Market https://secure.dorothylane.com/departments/produce/localfoodclub.html has a local food club this year which seems to operate like a CSA, in case you're interested in getting locally-grown organic produce in the Dayton area.
