Happy Spring!!! Our first official early Open Greenhouse is Saturday!! All are welcome to walk around and through the greenhouse to enjoy the sights and smells, and to see what's perking up outside. It's a walk over uneven terrain, but worth it!! We are located off of White Brook Road in Sharon. Follow the signs and enjoy the drive:)
The greenhouse is full, and things have moved out to the back cold frame... cautiously! This weather is very enticing, but I know that we are in danger of a frost until mid- to late May. Here's hoping for the best!! We love to share spring color and the smell of the greenhouse! Visitors can enjoy the pansies, viola, herbs, strawberry starts, and more! It's very easy to maintain distance and pick up what is needed, including CSG shares!
What is CSG?! Community Supported Gardening! We have three levels (available only until May 1st), which all translate to a preseason, 20% discount! "I've Got This" Community Supported Gardening (CSG) Shares": $50 of Foster Garden plants in the coming season for $40... a 20% preseason discount!! The other levels would be $75 worth of product for $60, and $100 for $80.
Not everything will be ready yet (still transplanting veggies and starting more seeds nightly), but we do have a few choices to brighten your day: some herbs (rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus, tarragon, lemon verbena, lemon grass, basil), everbearing strawberry starts (4" pots, super 6 packs, hanging baskets and bags), various succulents, and some garden favorite flowers (hardy pansies, violas and dianthus). Also plenty of pots and baskets of tender annual flowers that will need protection for a few more weeks. Plus CSG shares for the preseason discounts! All available at the greenhouse on Saturdays, 9-3, or by appointment.
In celebration of Earth Day, we will have pot recycling, a free pile, some garden trinkets for sale, and we'll accept area rugs and runners for use around the greenhouse to keep weeds down. Old yoga mats, too for cushiony aisles in the greenhouse:)
Take a walk around the wood-fired, solar-powered, ecologically-growing greenhouse and gardens, where no pesticides are used, only non-gmo and mostly organic seeds are grown, and organic soil and fertilizers are usedππΊπΉπ±ππ¦π
As always, we take your pots, baskets, trays, and inserts for reuse! (We use 4" pots the most, short or tall, round or square, and 4 pack inserts and their trays. Plus 10" and 12" baskets with attached saucers). We also have a good selection of cell inserts and trays for seed starting, plus all sizes of pots and baskets for transplanting... all for FREE, whether you're a grower or ready to get growing!!!
Happy Earth Day, and celebrate EVERY DAY!!
