SALE!! We are open…

All pots reduced to $2.00/each (& beets 6-packs); marigolds reduced to $3.00/6 pack.

The list of plants we still have is attached, along with pictures of the plants.

If you can tomato sauce, we have plenty of Amish Paste & Roma tomatoes. I roast these at 425 degrees in the oven, along with celery grown in the garden, garlic, onions & any other tomatoes I happen to have & cherry tomatoes too (for zing) with the skins left on. Then put in food processor & into the canning jars (with normal processing procedures). Great sauce & use of your garden!

We will be closing the greenhouse Monday, June 1, at close of the day (or sooner if we run out of plants).

In spite of this crazy weather we are still growing these garden plants for the Beechwood Spring Plant Sale 2026. Pre-orders will be filled starting May 15-17, then the greenhouses will be open to the public. Pre-orders are closed now but we will still have a large selection of plants when we open to the public.

We start all of these plants here in Beechwood & have been growing some of these plants since March 1 - so you can gain that extra time in the garden with our short growing season!

This is our biggest fundraiser for the Society to support maintaining the buildings we are restoring & care for and for activities. We have appreciated your support with this activity over the last 14 years!

For more information, please call 906-284-1501 or email [email protected]
