Enjoy a Homegrown Harvest

Keep it local. Be a backyard farmer and grow your own herbs, tomatoes, peppers, berries, fruit trees and so much more!

In Hampton Roads, which straddles plant zones 7 and 8, growing your own food is not too challenging. The time to plant begins in mid-April to mid-May and the growing season can run up to 280 days. The long summer heat allows us to enjoy melons, peppers, okra, tomatoes and fruits like persimmons and figs.

Feel you don’t have enough space for a large garden? Don’t worry, you will not need acres to grow your own but try incorporating them into your existing landscape. Consider mixing garden vegetables and herbs in your flower beds or use them as borders or even plant them in a container. By incorporating just one edible plant into your design, you can create a unique and beautiful landscape and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Come in today and discover how easy and affordable it is to bring the farm to your own backyard!
