Is your green thumb itching to get the dirt? The 61st Street Farmers Market has got you covered!
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a newbie, our farmers are here to help you select the perfect plants for your indoor herb garden, balcony, or backyard raised bed. They can help you select plants that go well together (called companions), that are hardy enough to hold up to the forgetful gardener (has it been a week since i watered??), and ones that are best for sunny or shady areas. Bring a cardboard box if you plan on buying more than one plant! It will make transporting them much easier.
Now is the perfect time to start planting, and here are some of the plant varieties our farmers will bring this Saturday!
