Sustainable gardening center near the downtown area. We grow heirloom vegetable plants, herbs, flowers, and natives on site without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The place runs on the honor system when Marcus is out, and the plants are made by apprentices with reused plastic pots. The nursery is open 24/7, these are times you’re most likely to see Marcus or someone working. Please shop anytime you like, using one of the self checkout options. Thank you!!!
