WoooHoooo ……Hard to believe, but it’s time to wind down our season already (where DOES the time go? Wish I could bottle it and save it…..) Our last day for our 2023 season is Sunday, June 25,2023. Until then we will continue our regular hours of Wednesdays thru Sundays 9am to 5pm (closed Mondays and Tuesdays). I’m already dreamin’ and schemin’ for 2024 (no moss growing on THIS old stone!). Would love to hear some suggestions from my Plantheads about what to grow, what did well, what not so well, new faves, old faves, etc…. And pictures! Ya know how I adore pictures!!! Feel free to call or text at (815)521-9535.
WARNING……..TEASER AHEAD………I am also going to be growing a VERY limited amount of exotic and tropical annuals, tons of herbs and pollinator attractors, and of course our extensive offering of Heirloom, open pollinated, organically grown (not certified) tomatoes, peppers, and other yummy veggies. MORE TO COME SO PLEASE STAY TUNED AND CHECK BACK OFTEN!!!!!!!!

If ya never had raw honey ya know not what ya miss!
