The Weekly Plant Box
Our nursery is not open to the public and we only offer online ordering for The Weekly Plant Box.
***The Weekly Plant Box changes every Monday but is available for pick up any day that entire week, including the weekend. Pick up is at our Flower Shack in Mills River. All plants are ready to be planted! Check back each week for a new collection of plants! |
The Weekly Plant BoxThe Lemon Box, Week of 4/29 This box includes 8 plants: Lemon Verbena, Lemon Grass, Lemon Balm, Gold Edge Lemon Thyme, 2 Lemon Gem Marigolds and 2 Lemon Basil. These would all do great in one giant container as a completely edible herb planter as well as natural bug repellent. The lemon grass and lemon verbena although considered perennials will not survive our winters. The lemon balm and thyme will come back next year. The marigolds will keep blooming as long as you deadhead them and trim them back, they can reseed themselves. Same with the basil, once you see flower heads forming, cut them back and use them just like you would regular basil. Full sun is preferred, water when soil is dry. |
Plants and Herbs
Barry Farms was first established with primarily herbs in mind. It is our bread and butter. We primarily grow everything from seed, cuttings or division right here on our farm. We use natural and sustainable practices. Everything is safe to eat or use straight from our farm.
We sell our plants and herbs at local farmers markets and local plant festivals. You can find us regularly on Saturday mornings at the Transylvania, Mills River and Hendersonville Farmers Markets with our more regular plants. We participate in a few local plant festivals: Growing in the Mountains, Asheville Herb Festival and The Garden Jubilee. At these shows you will find our entire plant line up. Some of these plants are rare, less common and sell out. The best time to buy is the end of April and the entire month of May! Later in the season we will continue to offer common herbs and seasonal flowering perennials! We also sell flowering Mountain Laurels that bloom in shades of pinks or reds, and a small variety of Japanese Maples.
