What would we do without our weekend warrior farm hands?

Better late than never- help us find good garden homes for our HOPE GROWN heirloom and heritage starts.

We have a limited selection of some of our special starts- most started before any of us ever heard the word pandemic!

We have unique Ark of Taste starts- Aunt Molly Ground Cherries, Fish Peppers, D’jena Lee Golden Girls and Cherokee Purples.

We’re asking for $5.00 donation per plant and can arrange for pickup or delivery.

Additionally, we have thousands of seeds available to share- $2.00 donation per pack.

Message us here or call:630-272-0915.

While we're all social distancing consider taking yourself outside to begin tending to your garden patches-stay safe friends!

The garden beckons on warm days in spring, but it’s too soon for planting and many other garden tasks, said Julie Janoski, Plant Clinic manager at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle.

This is what we mean when we say Farm to School!
Seeds were started, food access was discussed, composting encouraged and worms were fed and loved on!
