When You Order Seedlings From Veith House YOU ARE:
- Receiving High-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 Barrier-Free seedlings and vegetables to individuals and community partners who want improved access to high-quality produce.
How It Works
Our greenhouse is 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 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 and show up early. Please bring proof of purchase with you.
