The Garden Center will only be open two more days this Spring Quarter -- this Thursday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We have lots of plants that need good homes and you get to take another 30% off our already low prices!


We will have some limited openings during summer. We will be open on Sunday, July 18th, in conjunction with the West Seattle Garden Tour. We will announce additional dates here on our blog as information is available.

Cleaning Up and Marking Down Prices

Our spring season is drawing to a close at the garden center, so we've marked down even more plants in order to sell excess inventory. Here are a few examples:
• Nicotiana langsdorffii - a stately form of flowering tobacco that reaches 5' tall with charming pale green flowers - 5-1/2" container - 99 cents
• Many vegetable and herbs that are desperate for a good home - 69 cents
• Selected shrubs are still 40% off

We will be open this Thursday and Saturday from 11 - 3.

Please bring your own boxes or bags to take plants home in your car. Thank you.

Consider Edible Perennials

In our search for ways to make life easier, gardeners should consider planting edibles that return year after year. Most of the edibles we choose to grow are annuals. They are planted in the late spring, grow and produce for us through fall, and then their life cycle ends. Edible perennials and shrubs are plants that endure year after year - some have woody stems that remain through the winter, others die back and are renewed in spring by the warmth and the rain.

Examples of edible perennials and shrubs are: Rhubarb, Asparagus, Artichokes, all of the berries (Raspberries, Strawberries, Blueberries, etc.) and most of the herbs we use to spice up our foods. There's nothing like a fresh picked tomato from the vine outside your door, but planting a blueberry or rhubarb provides years of service, adds interest to any garden bed, and only needs to be planted once.

Here are a few of the perennial edibles we are offering you:
Asparagus 'Purple Passion' and 'Jersey'
Rhubarb
Thornless Raspberry, Thornless Boysenberry, Marionberry
5 varieties of Blueberries
Herbs including: Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, and Chives, just to name a few.


Come see us. We are open on Thursday and Saturday this week. 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
