Local gardening experts help residents create garden-to-table projects; now offering delivery and curbside pickup |
With changes in the daily lives of our communities, Pike Nurseries is helping residents learn and prep to plant their own edible gardens. These modern-day victory gardens are a practical way to grow a tasty harvest that will benefit the whole household while helping provide camaraderie and comfort at home. A healthy recreation for all ages, gardening offers fresh air and exercise, relieves stress and provides fruitful results. Vegetables, fruits and herb gardens can be seasonal and self-sufficient – and there’s nothing better than homegrown!
Edible gardens grow plentiful produce in any space, including backyards, window boxes, containers and more – with spring produce, such as strawberries and tomatoes, ideally receiving six or more hours of direct sunlight every day. The experts also recommend working edibles around existing flowers and shrubs. With an abundance of produce, gardeners can share the fruits of their labor with family, friends, and neighbors -- or donate harvests to local nonprofit organizations.
In an effort to keep customers safe, all Pike Nurseries locations are now exclusively offering delivery and curbside pick-up. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Customers can complete an online form or call a local store (list below) to order, and a Pike Nurseries employee-owner will return the call to personally consult on the request and finalize the order.
The Pike Nurseries’ pros are available to guide newcomers and experts alike through planting and harvesting colorful garden staples. To help emerging green thumbs, Pike Nurseries has also outlined a few simple Do-It-Yourself projects:
