I love every aspect of growing seedlings; researching new varieties, planning and scheduling start times, experimenting with different growing methods. The byproduct of this seedling addiction is a wealth of new plants each spring and summer.

Right Seeds, Right Time=Healthier Plants

Spreading out your planting window from April through August makes sense for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it’s best for growing healthy plants. Some plants benefit from growing their roots and getting established during cooler conditions. Others only thrive in warm conditions. A third group of plants bloom early in the spring and are best planted in the fall so they are established when the ground thaws and the temperatures rise. Having three designated planting windows spreads out the work load, reduces stress on you, and makes it easier to keep your garden full and flowering all year long.

Your Personal Grower

My garden boxes are divided into three groups, Cool Flowers (April), Warm Flowers (late May) and Fall Planting (late August or early September) and are ready for you to plant at the appropriate time. Seedlings have not been sitting around in pots any longer than they need to be so you get the healthiest plants possible. Becoming a member insures that you get the varieties you want, grown just for you. Membership is very limited so that I can give individual attention to clients. Garden boxes can be customized to meet your needs. You can double up on the varieties you would like to grow more of and eliminate ones that you don’t want. Each delivery will also include a few trial plants to keep things interesting.

Spring Plant Sale

Seedlings can also be purchased at my spring sale each May on the Saturday before Memorial Day Weekend. Plant choices include annuals and perennials. Dahlias, heirloom mums and some herbs and veg may also available. These plants are mostly “extras” that were planted to insure that there was enough germination to fill orders. There will only be a handful of each variety so early birds will have the best selection and some varieties may not be available. Selections are most suitable for cottage garden beds and pot gardens.

Organically Grown

Seedlings are grown in organic potting soil in 2” soil blocks. Some are potted up into 4” pots. Organic fertilizers are used in the growing process. Members will receive their seedlings in returnable trays and pots. Trays and pots must be returned before the next pick-up. A $20 deposit will be collected at the time of purchase.
