Spring Plant Giveaway

Spring Greenhouse Plants Ready for Adoption!

Greenhouse Hoop Bed

This is a celebratory 5 year anniversary of the Greenhouse Plant Giveaway!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 2 from 3p - 5p in my Garden!

There’s a deep value for me that regardless of the bigger world’s distractions, there’s a joyful community sharing experience that I can offer each Spring, and now Fall also! We are so fortunate to live in such a robust neighborhood, full of loving kindness, and sure, the occasional spat as well :) But we know each other, speak with each other, and value each other’s humanness. 

In that space, I’m so glad to offer another plant season to neighbors and friends. Each plant listing available for this Spring includes cooking suggestions and a link with growing tips.

Ordering Plants

  • You’ll receive immediate confirmation after placing your order
  • Your confirmation email will list exactly what you ordered
  • If a plant becomes unavailable while you’re shopping, that will be clearly noted
  • An email address is required, so I can track and prepare each order accurately

What to Expect this Year

Each year, I get a little more experience for what works in this region, and I learn from mistakes. Last year I learned that cuttings are trickier than I thought. My apologies to those who had unsuccessful cuttings. I also got better insight for the differences between warm and cool season veggies and herbs. This year I’m honing my offerings to be a shorter but more popular list of vegetables, pollinator flowers, and cottage annuals.
