>Red Wagon Plants (Hinesburg)

Thanks, some good ideas in there. I've gotten lots of good veggie starts from GreenHaven, but I usually try to get my seed purchases done before they open in the spring. In that area, I've also gotten good starts from Pine Tree Gardens in Bristol.

Reply to The politics of our world and nation have a direct and immediate impact on Vermont. Stay alert folks, because what's out there is what's coming here. by RamaSchneider

It’s disappointing to see people responding to this with so much apathy and hatred…

We get it, vermont seems safe, but the democrats are maliciously incompetent across the union, not just the south and Midwest.

If you want to consider yourself a decent don’t get to choose to care about politics or not; if you want to be a good person you need to want the world to be better, and this apathy only benefits those who want the world to be worse.

Republicans aren’t going to stop radicalizing, they will only get more overtly fascistic.

This does affect vermont. Directly.

Just looking through the comments since earlier, many of the places I would recommend have been mentioned. If you make a trip up to Burlington area for Gardener's Supply, check out City Market (the one on Flynn Ave), because they sometimes have a few different seed vendors' stuff on display.

I'd also say check out Red Wagon Plants (Hinesburg) and GreenHaven (New Haven), but I don't think either of them are open for the season yet.

Finally, I'll say that I heard this scuttlebutt on a gardening forum I'm on: Baker Creek Seeds is a right-wing company with some fundo-Christian background stuff going one beneath their (very lovely) veneer. They do have tons of weird things though, and I used to order from them a lot, but now I'm having second thoughts about it. Not sure if this matters to you or anyone else reading this, but I just wanted to share in case it does.

Happy growing!

Thanks. Are there any local places you want to mention, that carry less common things?

That was my original hope for this thread - where do you go when you want to browse interesting seed packets in person. I mentioned a couple places in Middlebury, and others brought up Gardener's Supply as well as a place in Bethel.

There are a couple of good books I've found that are helpful on this issue.

  • Vermont Trout Streams by Bob Shannon (statewide streams)
  • Wade Fly Fishing - Northern Vermont/Lamoille River Watershed by Luc Desjarlais (this is exclusively about Northern Vermont only)
