Let’s get planting.

SPRING/SUMMER 2025

Starting from the beginning…

March and April are all about planning! Have you been dreaming about your summer garden projects all winter? Well, now’s the time to dive in! Our store is fully stocked with seeds, soils, pots & more…everything you need to start preparations for your garden.

Help support our community….

Every year, we hold a plant sale on the Friday before our two biggest weekends to help raise money for The Children’s Room.

The Room is a free space in Brookside Elementary in downtown Waterbury that allows local families with small children to meet, learn and play in a safe environment. Along with more formal weekly programs, the Room is an excellent place for both kids and parents to socialize, network, and become closer with their community.

We can’t thank all the hardworking parents and teachers who make this special place possible enough, so we do what we can each year by having our Plant Sale!

On May 9th and May 23rd this year, between 5pm - 7pm, 20% of all purchases* go directly to the Children’s Room to help support their programming.

*We ask that purchases be made by cash or check, due to the fact that we do not charge our customers a credit card fee.

The right time to buy…

The most exciting time of the year around here is the month of May! The average last frost date in our area is May 25th, but with some careful checking of the weather, buying your plants earlier is often totally doable!

May is all about the annuals and planting for color that lasts all summer! Our largest selection is ready to go between our two big weekends: Mother’s Day & Memorial Day. We continue to grow annuals later in the spring to be ready in June, if you want to wait for the rush to be over. Check back in often for new and different colors to be ready at different times!

Plant for our pollinators…
