Garden in a Box
Fresh veggie and flower starts, ready to go in the ground this Spring!
All the boxes are now in their new homes! Check back again next year!
We've switched up our Garden in Box program for 2023. In addition to our popular Cutting Garden and Patio Gardens, we've added a Children's Garden of small, easy-to-grow vegetables, an Eating the Rainbow garden of brightly-colored, oh-so-heathy vegetables, and garden of all heirloom varieties.
The gardens come in a reusable wooden tray; they'll be fully hardened-off and ready to put in your prepared bed. Each box comes with with planting, care and feeding, and harvesting of your plants, along with plastic label tags.
How Does it Work?
-
Order your box(es) in advance at the links below.
-
We'll notify of a pick-up/delivery time about two weeks before the plants are ready to go home.
-
Pick up your flat of plants at the farm, or we can deliver to your door. Sorry, we can't ship these plants; they're too delicate to survive the trip.
Important note: The actual plants you will receive MAY vary, depending on germination and growth rates of the plants we've picked out.

While eating more vegetables and fruit is always a good idea, focusing on eating a variety of colors will increase your intake of different nutrients to benefit various areas of your health..
