The Deerhoof Gardens nursery offers a seasonal rotation of live herb plants. In the cool-weather months, we have plants such as cilantro, parsley, thyme, oregano and others that can get established in your garden in the fall and get through the winter months. During the late spring and summer we carry more fast-growing annuals including many varieties of basil.
In addition to culinary and medicinal herbs, we also provide vegetable starts: lettuce, kale, broccoli and others during the fall or early spring, and tomatoes, peppers and eggplants when the weather gets warmer.
