Hattie’s Garden open Thursday and Friday, 2 to 5 — See below for directions.

Hattie’s Garden is happy to announce we now have a great selection of fall crops. We are beginning the harvest of our fall carrots and have lots of hakurei turnips, radishes, lettuce, young arugula, beautiful wax beans and lovely green beans. We continue to create beautiful specialty cut flower bouquets. Look for fresh turmeric in a couple of weeks.

On Saturday, October 5 the Historic Lewes Farmers Market (HLFM) begins its Fall Market at the Shields Elementary School Parking Lot (Savannah Rd. & Sussex Dr), and the hours change to 9 am to noon.

Shields is a great location for easy access to lots of great produce. Remember that the fall is typically “harvest time” and you will find lots of great produce to eat and to put up for the winter. If you would like to can or freeze, ask your local farmer how to begin. We look forward to seeing you there.

Directions to Hattie’s Garden

Hattie’s Garden is located at 31341 Kendale Rd in Lewes approximately 3 miles from Plantation Rd. (Also known as Rt. 1D) coming inland on either Robinsonville Rd. or Beaver Dam Rd (Rt. 23 South).

Kendale Rd. is a short link (.6 miles) between Robinsonville and Beaver Dam and the garden at 31341 Kendale is located near the Beaver Dam Rd. intersection — five houses from that intersection on the left hand side.

The house has purple trim and you will see a large hoophouse or “high tunnel” in the back as you drive into the driveway.

We hold our sales in the large garage attached to the house. Enter the garage through a door in the side of the garage, just behind the house.

From the City of Lewes:
Travel on Savannah Rd and cross Rt. 1 as though traveling to Georgetown on Rt. 9, but take an immediate left and then an immediate right to access Rt. 23 South (Beaver Dam Rd). Rt. 23 runs roughly parallel to Rt. 9. Continue 3 miles and turn left onto Kendale Rd. Look for the purple trim on our house after a short distance of about a tenth of a mile.

From Rehoboth Beach:
Travel north on Rt. 1 and take a left at Rt. 24. Take a right onto Plantation Rd.–the first major intersection–and then a left onto Robinsonville Rd. (1.9 miles). Travel just under 3 miles and take a right onto Kendale Rd. Travel .5 miles on Kendale and 31341 will be on the right toward the end of this short road.

Yours in the Garden & Market,
