Summer Vegetable Garden In a Box
The Summer Vegetable Garden in a Box is full of 15 organically grown veggie and herb plants to fill your own vegetable garden at home this summer. This is a curated collection of plant varieties that you won’t find at our local nurseries, (as wonderful as they are!). These plants come in biodegradable cow pots, ready to plant directly into your garden, raised beds or planters. You can either plant the pot directly into the garden or you can take the plant out of the cow pot to plant it. The mix of plants will be approximately 65% vegetables and 35% culinary herbs. We recommend you have a garden space of about 20 x 25 square feet in a sunny location to grow these plants. Raised beds or containers will work as well, just be sure they receive at least 6 hours of sun daily.
Each plant is grown from seed right here in our greenhouse. We practice organic and regenerative farming so your plants will be robust and healthy, ready to go directly into your garden.
The exact mix of plants in our Summer Vegetable Garden in a Box will be determined once we see how everything germinates, but here's what we are hoping to have: cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, peas, summer and winter squash, herbs, and greens like lettuces and Chinese greens.
Plants in the box vary from season to season based on what thrives as we sow our seeds. Boxes may not all be identical. Special requests cannot be accommodated due to our production schedule.
Since we are growing these plants for you from seed that may not produce as planned, Bush Poppy Farm reserves the right to substitute varieties as needed. All plants are grown using only organic fertilizers and sustainable practices. Plants will be hardened off so you can plant immediately into your garden without any additional care.
SHIPPING IS NOT AVAILABLE.
Plants will be ready for pick up in early-May when the weather becomes stable enough for putting these warm-weather-loving varieties straight into the garden. You will receive an email with the pick up details in late April once we see how the spring weather is unfolding. Pick up will take place at either the home farm (70 Moraga Via in Orinda), or at our Lafayette CSA location (Creekside Commons). You can select your choice when ordering.
No refunds are available once your order has been placed. We spend several months growing these plants and put them on reserve once you've placed your order. Therefore we can not offer any refunds if you are unable to pick up your box for any reason.
Once again, please note that shipping is NOT AVAILABLE for these plant shares. You will need to pick them up from one of the two specified locations.
If you have any questions before ordering, please email hlmarano@bushpoppyfarm.com. We're happy to help!
