The Greenhouse
Tait Farm’s Greenhouse is truly the “secret garden” for our region. An ideal stop for the cottage and kitchen gardener, we strive to be recognized for the quality of our plants, products, and customer service. Choose from a great selection of seeds, herbs, vegetable seedlings and other backyard edibles, as well as unusual annuals and unique perennials that include heirloom roses, pollinator and native plants. We also offer organic gardening supplies, a variety of exceptional pots, planted containers, and decorative stoneware that will add beauty to any garden design.
The New Year in the Greenhouse
As we welcome the new year from under extra layers of clothing and warm, cozy blankets, there dwells the glimmer of the growing season yet to come. It lies in the myriad seed packets soon to arrive in our shop, both organic and inorganic; favorite, tried and true varieties; as well as new and exciting varieties shared with us by our reputable seed companies. It’s never too early to start planning for the season yet to come!
Don’t forget to check in early 2019 for a list of the vegetable, pepper, and tomato varieties we will be offering in the Greenhouse next season. It will be here before we know it!

Tait Farm Native Plant Nursery
This year we are starting a small native plant retail nursery. The nursery currently includes about 50 species of local ecotype native plants. All the plants we offer will be propagated either in my home garden on the farm or in the farm's propagation facilities. The selection of plants we offer has been chosen for various reasons - they provide pollen and nectar for native bees, many species are host plants for native butterflies and moths, and some are particularly useful at attracting predatory and parasatoid wasps and flies that will control unwanted pest insects. Some of the plants are showy and will integrate well into more formal gardens, and some will not fit well in formal plantings - these plants are grown for the purpose of creating habitat for all sorts of wildlife. In addition, we are propagating a handful of sedge species that make great ground covers or lawn substitutes.
