Spring Starter Garden

Get growing while everyone else is still planning. This bundle gets fresh food on your table weeks before summer.

The Spring Starter Garden is designed specifically for late March planting—these cold-hardy varieties thrive in cool spring weather and give you harvests while others are just starting their gardens. From peppery arugula salads to sweet roasted beets, this collection delivers fresh, homegrown food by mid-spring. Perfect for extending your growing season and making the most of our Westchester spring weather.

Ideal for a 4 x 8 foot garden bed or dedicated early season plot, and pairs nicely with the Complete Kitchen Garden as we will plant many of the later season plants after we harvest the early spring ones!

Why Plant Early?

Spring is the secret season for serious gardeners. These varieties:

• Love the cold - Actually prefer March/April temperatures over summer heat
• Grow fast - Arugula ready in 3 weeks, lettuce in 4-5 weeks, beets by June
• Taste better - Cool weather makes greens sweeter and less bitter
• Extend your harvest - Fresh food from April through June, before your summer garden even starts

This bundle takes advantage of our spring here - cool nights, moderate days, and plenty of moisture. These are the plants that thrive when summer crops would struggle.

All plants are NOFA-NY certified organic transplants, grown right here in at Lyndhurst in Tarrytown and cold-hardened for immediate planting.

Perfect for: Gardeners who want to maximize their growing season, spring salad lovers, and anyone tired of waiting until June for a fresh garden harvest!
