Plants, Plants, Plants

We have an amazing selection of plants available for your home gardens. They are looking just gorgeous and are ready to go. Stop by the Garden on Tuesday, May 7, Wednesday, May 8, Thursday, May 9 from 10 to 3, and then on Sunday, May 12 (Mother’s Day) from 10 to 2.

Take a look at our plant section on Hattie’s Garden website for a complete list. Nearly all of our plants will be ready for you this week. We have tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squash, cucumbers, swiss chard, lettuce mix, and all kinds of herbs. Our flower transplants include zinnias, marigolds, nasturtiums, double-click cosmos, blue rim and champagne lisianthus, liberty snapdragons and gomphrena.

Stop by and we will help you find what you need and can provide plenty of advice for your gardening questions. And don’t forget to pick up something for that special person for Mother’s Day.

Remember use the best organic soil available to grow our vegetable plants. We get our soil from Vermont Compost Company and have found no better biologically active, compost-based soil anywhere. Your plants will thrive because they have already developed a sophisticated root system, only possible through the exchanges facilitated by the growth of beneficial bacteria and fungi enabled by this carefully crafted compost based soil.

Please note that while we will bring as many plants as possible to the HLFM on Saturday, May 11, our space is limited. The best selection will always be at the Garden during our open hours.

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

For the next month or so, Five Points is closed at Plantation and Beaver Dam. For those who normally travel that way, just head up Route 9 to Dairy Farm Rd. Turn left at Dairy Farm and right at the end of Dairy Farm onto Beaver Dam Rd. Kendale will be on your left in less than ½ mile.

Kendale Rd. is a short road (0.6 miles) between Robinsonville and Beaver Dam Road. The house is fifth on the left from Beaver Dam Rd, and has a large wooden fence in front of house with purple trim.

Park in the graveled area facing the fence. If you don’t see us, you may toot your horn. We could be processing things in the garage or working outside in the garden.
