*About Community-Supported Plant Starts: we grow various plant starts throughout the year to help gardeners stay on top of succession planting
For a reasonable upfront fee, we get you the plants that want to be planted according to the NW Maritime Planting calendar. In Early Spring we start broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. In late spring and early summer, we’ll supply tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and other heat-loving crops. In August, when you should plant Brussel Sprouts and Fall Brocoli, we’ll get you those. In essence, we provide quality plant starts and a path towards year around vegetable production. Also, in purchasing a continual supply of plant starts, we can offer you discounts over retail prices.
Community Supported Plant Starts, had a successful pilot year in 2008, a great 2009 highlighted by Organic Gardening Magazine , Real Change Magazine, and Seattle Times featuring the program.

Lastly, we are searching for a location for one of our urban greenhouses starting in 2010. If you know anyone with a large footprint with full sun and access to electric and water (we pay the bills), please pass this on to them.
