Plants for Sale Info & Tentative May 1st Pickup Date

Greetings from the Pray Plants garden! Today turned out to be a gorgeous day for a little garden work. Luckily, all of the seedlings and plants in our gardens survived the surprise snow without so much as a frostbitten leaf. We are ever-grateful for this considering the lack of availability of seeds in the marketplace. Because of the current global situation, many people have placed orders with seed companies and overwhelmed these businesses. Starting in on Mother's Day, we will offer our smorgasbord of herb and veggie transplants to help clients establish some resilience and food security in these difficult times.

About Our Transplants:

1. Our seeds are sourced from the following businesses:

- The Appalachian Herb Growers Consortium with the Blue Ridge Center for Chinese Medicine

- Baker Creek Heirloom Seed

- Southern Exposure Seed Exchange

- Wood County Parks Stewardship Department

2. Transplants are grown in accordance with organic standards but are not organic certified. That certification is incredibly expensive and a lot of work! We use organic fertilizer and insect repellents, and propagate from organic products; Plus we put ample love into our plants to keep them healthy.

3. We sell less than 199 transplants per year since we are not an industrial greenhouse operation. Be sure to reserve your transplants ahead of time so that they do not sell out from under you :)

4. We offer planting and re-potting services for our transplants as well as from the local garden shops:

- Black Diamond Nursery

- Bostdorff's Greenhouse

5. We offer upkeep services for the plants we sell and transplant into client gardens.

Governor DeWine plans to make changes toward opening the economy beginning May 1st. It is our hope that we will be able to commence on-site projects for clients, and we will definitely announce on the Home Page of the website if this is the case.

Moving forward, I will mainly be working by myself or with my partner and we will likely not be seeing clients face-to-face -- all in order to prevent any viral transmission from household to household. We remain committed to our original Pandemic Plan (see Home Page for more), and want to continue to serve our clients safely.

Until then, be safe and prep the garden! See you there soon :)
