VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

Autumn is full of such abundance in native gardens! Not only do we have riotous fall colors, natives deliver incredible harvests in October and November.

Don’t be scared (although it is the month for that sort of thing). Make a Yarrow pasta! Try Coffeeberry coffee! Substitute white sage for a new twist on a favorite recipe. Experiment and enjoy!

Happy Harvesting!
