We aim for as sustainable as possible, using organic methods
and growing in a passive solar greenhouse heated entirely by solar gain and
cooled with manual vents. Our potting soil incorporates bi-products
of other manufacturing processes to avoid the over-use of peat. We grow on a
small scale with attention to quality, and diversify our income streams to
alleviate pressure on the nursery.
If you’re interested in a tour of our passive solar
greenhouse, contact us to set up an appointment. See the description here.
