Heirloom Tomatoes,

Vegetables, Herbs & Greens

Twenty some years ago Lori started growing seedlings for her annual neighborhood yard sale. She later joined the Greater Brookland Yard Sale (GBYS map). Because of Covid we built a website to continue the tradition with curbside pickup. We have suspended online sales, but have maintained the website to share our expansive inventory.

We don’t sell online, and we don’t Ship.

FOR SPRING 2025, we plan to hold multiple yard sales. We will post dates here, and if you want email alerts, you can sign up for email notifications below, or in ‘Contact Us‘.  If you establish an account, you will be able to build a shopping list. We also post dates to the Brookland Listserv, and the Brookland Facebook group.

The website is a catalog of our offerings, and we fine tune it as starts emerge from our growroom.

As urban gardeners and seedling growers in the Brookland neighborhood of NE Washington DC, we strive for biodiversity, and employ environmentally sound, sustainable practices. Many of our seedlings germinate from seeds saved or cuttings from our garden. Other seeds come from members of the Seed Savers Exchange catalog or store, the Dwarf Tomato Project, and a host of inspired independent growers, cooperatives, and businesses (see our Resources page).

Our garden is vibrant from years of building nutrient rich, microbiologically fertile soil. It is part of our “foodshed”, and it sequesters carbon. We look to principles of permaculture, regenerative agriculture, co-planting and balance to invite a rich array of pollinators, birds and diverse fauna into our urban yard and garden. We plant and amend only with sustainable and organic inputs while employing the principles of integrated pest management if needed.
