This Friday looks to be a beautiful day to shop local plants, peonies, beautiful spring produce...and more!
Find lots of healthy herb, vegetable and flower plants for your gardens and pots/planters this week! The plant starts you get at market are carefully grown and tended by the farms who bring them. So if you have any questions about the varieties or how to plant and care for them, the experts are here to guide you. Feel free to borrow a market wagon at entry to shop and then get your plants safely to your car!
As we welcome new and returning producers gradually over the coming weeks, know that some producers are not starting just yet, and some are bi-weekly or monthly. Read more about how the season will unfold in this recent article, and head over to our website to check your favorite producers' schedules.
The market will grow as the season grows!
