Ah gardening season
The time of year is upon us when the last frost date has come and gone, and we can once again play in our gardens without fear of freezing rains.
Back in February, our resident plant baby specialist started a large number of medicinal herb seeds, and the time has come for them to find new homes.
Below you will find photos of the plants available and some information about each plant’s medicinal properties.
Each plant comes with instructions for transplanting and care so you can have an even better chance at harvesting it’s medicinal properties as time moves on.
Since we are still offering only curbside pick up and shipping, this year’s plant sale will look a bit different than in years past, but rest assured the plants are just as lovely and hardy as ever.
To order a plant start, please give us a call and we will take your order over the phone. You will then be able to pick up your plants the next day.
We are available Monday-Saturday 11-4 and can be reached at 970-682-4373.
Unfortunately, we aren’t able to ship our plant starts, but lucky for you we still have medicinal seed packets available that we can mail, so you can still get some lovely medicinals going wherever you happen to live.
There is a limited number of plants, so get your order in quick to ensure you get the ones you want.
Happy planting!
