Gardening season is officially upon us and we're excited to get our first plant sale underway! KCCG's Cool Season Plant Sale begins Thursday, March 24th for Green Card Members only and Friday, March 25th for all members.
Plants for this sale include asparagus, berries, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale and lettuce.
Our complete library of seeds is also available (with the exception of a few varieties that are still on backorder – please bear with us!) along with seed potatoes, onion sets, onion plants, shallots, and leeks.
We will be set up a little differently this year to maintain social distancing and to let you shop at your own pace. Below is a map you can reference and a step-by-step guide on how to shop for your plants and seeds.
