What Are We Growing this Year?
We’re still very new at this and attempt to grow new species every year with varied success. Our primary goal is to incorporate plants into our own expanding garden. Things that don’t germinate very well may therefore not be available for the general public this year. Below is a list of what we’re currently attempting to grow in our greenhouse. We’ll update our shop’s inventory as we get a better idea of our inventory.
