Chives have been in use as a culinary herb in China since around 3,000 BC. It was Marco Polo who returned westward with the notion that they made good eating, but chives were not popular in European gardens until the 16th century. Chives have a wonderful mild onion flavor and are excellent in many meals; great raw or cooked. Cut leaves for salads, potatoes, and soups. The flower heads can also be used for an even milder onion flavor - they look gorgeous in salads!
Welcome to our 2022 Plant Start Sale! Along with our large collection of seeds offered at www.GardenHoard.com, this year, we are selling our plant starts online as well! Normally, we bring these plant starts to May and June Farmers' Markets, but with continued uncertainty surrounding public events, we understand that you may want to shop for plants in a safer environment!
We have developed a contactless pickup system for these plant starts. Mid-May through June we will be offering pickup at our farm in Howell, MI. The system will involve you receiving a pickup email to schedule a date and time, and your order being available for safe, secure, contactless pickup.
While we will not be physically available to tell you about your amazing plants, we will be including extremely helpful instructions along with detailed information about the plants you chose! It will be just like talking to us at the Farmers' Markets, but without the crowds and health risks!
Simply make your plant selection by adding each plant you want to your shopping cart. When you check out, select "On-Farm Pickup". When the plants are available (beginning Mid-May), you will receive a pickup email with details on where to find your order! If you require a special delivery because of health concerns, or need to change your pickup date/time, please respond to your pickup email and we will do our best to accommodate you.
If you order seeds with your plants, we will send those to you in the mail, prior to plant pickup day!
