It seems like only yesterday, but it was a year ago that Maryanne (right) was our very first customer on opening day. She bought tomato plants for her garden.This year, we have everything you need for your garden and deck - and more.
 
This is a great time to plant herbs (see coupon below). We have chives, parsley, basil...and many more.
 
We also have a great selection of gorgeous geraniums, and other hanging plants. Of course, our fresh-picked lettuce ($3/head) is the best for spring salads.
