It is the middle of March and that means it is time to start seeds indoors that you want to transplant into a garden bed in late May or early June.

Stop by and fill out a form indicating which seeds you’d like to plant and a staff member will pull together a couple of seeds of each item selected. We are also planning to start our own starts and hopefully be able to share those as well depending on how they grow.
