After a roughly 30 year run at the Charlottesville City Market, we have made the difficult decision to take a break. We are focusing on our booming wholesale business and hoping to grow our open hours every Saturday from 9-4 at our greenhouses. It was a joy and we will miss it so very much. Come out and see us and keep choosing small businesses over big box stores. We love you!

Due to slippery conditions, the greenhouses will be closed today. Stay safe out there!

Happy new year to our beloved community, customers and employees. Here’s to another year of growing beautiful things to share with the world—37 years of business and counting. The future is bright. ✨

Some old family greenhouse photos, circa 2012. We’ve been at this for some time now. How lucky are we to have done it all with our babies in tow? Hard at times, yes, but more so lucky.

During this time of uncertainty, we must lean on, support and look to our communities. Get outside, move your bodies, see your neighbors, visit your local businesses and farmers markets, make connections, volunteer and spread some LOVE. Please come see us this Saturday at the Charlottesville city market from 9-1 or during our open hours at our greenhouses in Barboursville from 9-4. We will have everything discounted for our community in an effort to spread that love. We hope to see you!
