Fill your garden with vegetable transplants, locally grown on the Farm at Gore Place. Choose from many varieties of hard-to-find heirloom and hybrid tomatoes, as well as peppers, eggplants, and herbs. Back this year: customer-favorite marigolds! This year's sale takes place in-person, on-site at our Farm; there will be no online sales this year.

It's not just the great plants that make this sale special: Farmer Scott has been growing vegetables for almost 50 years. He has deep knowledge of these varieties and is onsite and ready to share! According to Scott, "We get lots of return customers. They count on us to provide the rare varieties that commercial nurseries don't carry."

The sale will take place on the Farm and there will be plenty of free parking (enter at 249 Waltham Street)

* We will be hosting musicians for the Watertown Porchfest on Saturday, May 16.
