Veith House hasn't added a story.
Welcome The Annual Urban Farm Vegetable Seedling Sale!
We're back for another seedling sale, and we've got our typical vegetable and herb seedlings. New to the sale this year is FLOWER seedlings for your summer garden! Tell your friends, family, and colleagues, we've got seedlings for EVERYONE.
Whether you're growing on your balcony,
backyard, or as part of a community garden or organization, we'd
love to provide you the seedlings you need. Scroll down to browse
our inventory, pre-order seedlings, and claim a charitable tax
receipt for 2023.
This seedling sale is a major fundraiser for Veith House and its Urban Farm, and we are grateful for your support. Stop by May 20th-21st from 9am-3pm at 3115 Veith Street, in the greenhouse!
When You Order Seedlings From Veith House YOU ARE:
- Receiving H igh-Quality, Community Grown, and Spray Free herb, vegetable, and flower seedlings.
- Building Community
- Strengthening the case for More Investment in Community Food Projects.
- Directly Supporting our operations and programs, which allows us to plan future projects and strengthen our capacity to deliver relevant programs.
- Helping to distribute B arrier-Free seedlings and vegetables to individuals and community partners who want improved access to high-quality produce.
How It Works
If you're a returning customer the sale process might seem a bit different this year. Our greenhouse is now suitably designed so that you can stroll through, browse, and select your own seedlings. As a result, we've redesigned the pre-orders to be for a quantity of seedlings, instead of specific plants. You will get to select your plants at the greenhouse during the sale dates.
The Process
Option 1:
- First, you prepay for a set AMOUNT of seedlings.
- Then show up on the pre-sale or sale dates and select your seedlings.
Option 2:
- If you prefer, we will offer in-person payment options (cash and card) on the sale dates.
ALL inventory will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. The best way to ensure access to the varieties you're looking for is to pre-order. If you pre-order online, you qualify for a plant pre-sale on Friday, May 19th from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. Please bring proof of purchase with you.
