Check out Dogwood Garden Centre for great plants!
I stopped by Dogwood Garden Centre on 1st St. yesterday to pick up some more plants for a recently-acquired garden space (thank you, Thane the great neighbour!), and I was pleasantly surprised at the great prices and selection offered by owner Ron. Herbs run you $3.49, while the hot pepper varieties and eggplants I bought were only $1.49. He’s also got heirloom tomatoes started out back that have started to take off - they’re only $2, and you can plant your own saved seeds next year if you’ve got green thumbs and some spring gumption. Ron has some great ideas - he sells organic, pesticide-free products and expresses joy at the number of ambitious gardeners he has recently met in Revelstoke. Hopefully more and more of us will start and continue to grow our own food here in Revelstoke as food security becomes more of a hot-button issue.
How are your gardens shaping up? What’s poking up? Have you eaten anything out of your garden yet?
