Most of these plants will be available this Spring at The Simply Homegrown Market in Clayton, Georgia (every Saturday). And for those of you near Six Mile, I'll have plants at the Upstate Food Coop as well. You can also order through the Clemson Area Food Exchange. Order by Sunday night on the web site and pick up your orders on Tuesday from locations in Clemson, Seneca and Central.
In our commitment to honor Mother Earth we always use organic growing mediums and fertilizers. We also support organic and heirloom seed companies. Supplies are limited and will be available from the middle to late April. You may order at the end of March. Occasionally we have accidents in the greenhouse with one or more plants and will not be able to fill those orders.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
