Get a Great Start on your Garden!

Join our friends at Tilth Alliance for The March Edible Plant Sale this Saturday, March 15, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Rainier Beach Urban Farm & Wetlands (5513 S Cloverdale St, Seattle 98118).

Our garden educators have carefully chosen varieties that grow well in our Maritime Northwest climate, so come choose from a wide selection of organically, sustainably and locally grown edible plant starts. Spring is an ideal time to plant because nature takes care of the watering for you and temperatures are warm enough to start tending to our gardens. You will find:

• Easy-to-grow plants for beginners such as lettuce, greens and peas.
• Favorites such as collards, kale, Swiss chard and strawberries.
• Many varieties of onions, ideally suited to plant in spring to maximize leafy growth before bulb formation begins during our long summer days.
• Heirloom plants that will excite more experienced gardeners including Red Express cabbage, Ole Timey Blues collards, Walla Walla onions and Marshall red romaine lettuce.
• Irresistible highlights for foodies include edible flowers, bulbing fennel, purple scallions, Romanesco cauliflower and dozens of culinary herbs
