The Ross Student Farm is proud to present the Summer Plant Sale! Join us on Thursday, July 24 and Friday, July 25 from 2:30-5:00 p.m. each day, in Headhouse III on Curtin Road, across the street from the Creamery! With so many veggies, fruits, herbs, and flowers ripening in the fall, our seedlings are here for you. Enjoy student-grown seedlings ready to keep your garden bountiful through the autumn months. Fall plantings are often some of the most delicious, especially for the Brassica family and lettuces, as the cooling weather helps them sweeten up.
Annual seedlings are $2.50 each or 15 for $30. A selection of succulents and perennial plants will also be available, with prices as marked. Please bring a box with you to carry your plants. Accepted forms of payment include cash or check only. Parking can be found at the East Parking Deck for $1/hour. Card is preferred for paying for parking in the parking deck.
All of our seedlings are planted and grown by our student interns, without any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and we are excited to share them with the community! We time the sale to match the planting timelines we use on the Student Farm, so that after a couple days of hardening off at home, they are ready to plant and are timed properly for optimal fall growth. Seedlings available include the following categories and varieties. The whole community is welcome to come shop with us–we appreciate your support of our students!
