I added the URL for those of you who prefer that to QR codes. STORE IS OPEN! Thank you for all the orders so far!

Plant Sale update - keep those orders coming in! If you haven't placed your order yet, stock is running low on certain items. We are out of Benary's Giant Zinnia, but I added more flats of Giant Dahlia Zinnia & Jim Baggett's Zinna Mix.

If you already ordered, but forgot to BOOK your pick-up time, just go back to the UStore page and click on the "Book Pick-Up Time" link. You can reschedule as you get closer to May - it's okay to select a time now and change it later.

Thank you all!

Plant Sale 2021 Update - I'm taking a test drive on the new Ustore tomorrow. I hope to have it launched by the end of the week. I will post the link here as soon as I have it ready!

03/11/2021

Here are screenshots of the new 'Ustore' that I've set up on the UST Marketplace. It won't be live for another week or so - I will post the link when it's ready!

The 2021 Plant Sale will be entirely online - I can't have people in the greenhouse shopping. You will buy the plants via the Ustore, then arrange a pick up slot for May 7th or 8th. The students and I will have your order packaged and ready for pick up to hand out via the Medicinal Garden gate.

More details to follow! Bear with me as I figure all of this out!

I had to keep the selection limited this year and am growing about 100 flats of plants instead of 500.

Direct message/email me with questions.

I was happy to team up again with Julie Weisenhorn from the U and answer gardening calls on Kerri Miller's show on MPR this morning. Have a listen!

Outdoor planting season is just around the corner. Two experts share their advice on planning and tending to spring gardens.

It’s back on! I’ll be holding a Plant Sale with online ordering and socially distanced pickup in May. Details to follow.
