As many of you may already be aware Gary Millwood passed away last year. He was the inspiration behind our ‘Mater Days.  Gary would come out to the nursery and talk for hours with our customers about the history behind some of the heirloom tomatoes.  We hope you will join us during Mater Days this year and share your stories about Gary and perhaps any stories you may have about an heirloom vegetable.  Come celebrate his life, and carry on his enormous enthusiasm and love for tomatoes.

Our plant sale starts friday April 18^th   9:00am-7:00pm (if it isn’t zero degrees) we have over 150 varieties of tomatoes and 75 varieties of Peppers.   Other vegetables include cucumbers, eggplants, squash and melons, some very unique.

Some varieties are limited so shop early!  We will not reserve any plants or ship vegetable plants.  Thank you and see you soon.
