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!

- 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.
