This spring we will have several different herbs and vegetables for sale. Plants have been propagated from seeds or cuttings from Master Gardeners’ right here in our area. Plants are suited to our local gardening environment.

Most grow in full sun. Here is a list of herbs we will have available:
Catnip – Your furry feline will love you for this one!
Cilantro – A cool weather herb; great for salsa!
