Our perennial sale is still going on! It’s a great time to refresh your landscape with heat loving perennials!

We still have 1-gallon perennials marked down 25%–50% off on select varieties. With the recent rain and cooler weather, conditions are ideal for planting and helping new plants get established with less effort.

Stop by soon—these deals are limited, and once a variety sells out, it’s gone.

What a wonderful evening!

Our Paint, Plant & Sip workshop was such a fun night filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks, great conversations, and so much creativity. We loved watching everyone turn simple clay pots into beautiful works of art while spending the evening together in the greenhouse.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a special event! We’re already looking forward to hosting a few more evening workshops at the farm this year, so stay tuned. We also have some exciting fall events just around the corner!

And don’t forget—we’re open today from 10 AM–4 PM on this beautiful Sunday. The sun is starting to peek out, so come spend a little time with us!

Fresh Fig Season is Here!

Local fresh figs have arrived, and we’ve been busy turning them into some of our favorite homemade treats!

This week you’ll find:
• Fresh local figs
• Homemade Fig Preserves – now available!
• Our rich and flavorful Ocracoke Island Fig Cake
• Blueberry Fig Crisp, made fresh in our kitchen

Whether you’re picking up a basket of fresh figs, spreading our preserves on warm biscuits, or treating yourself to a slice of fig cake or a pan of blueberry fig crisp, there’s no better way to enjoy the flavors of the season.

Stop by while they last—fig season is short, and these favorites won’t be around for long!
