Reserve sustainable seedlings

Reserve your vegetable, herb, and beneficial flower seedlings for the 2017 growing season!

Since M R Gardens seedlings are grown on a small scale, they are given individual attention and are exceptional quality. We strive for "as sustainable as possible." We are not only committed to organic methods but also use nearly all renewable resources in our passive solar greenhouse, as well as reuse nonrenewable resources.

The intention of the Pre-Season Prep service is to communicate with customers up front about their gardening plans so that very little resources to produce plants are wasted. Furthermore, we can hand over the plants when they are at their most beautiful—just the right size for transplanting.

When you order, you put down a deposit for half the price of the plant, and then pay the remaining when you pick up the plants at the farm, 441 Onteora Blvd. in Asheville. We will contact you when they are ready for pickup.
