With decades of experience in the soil business, we are well equipped to help you prepare for your adventures in houseplant cultivation.

Planting a garden is an excellent way to guarantee you always have fresh vegetables and fragrant flowers on hand. But to a beginner gardener, it can feel intimidating to start with only a handful of seeds and some dirt.

We're Ab (they/them) and Al (she/her), and we started Queer Candle Co. as a passion project in the summer of 2018. The previous holiday season, Ab had given Al a candle making kit because they thought she was spending “too much money on candles from Target” (they were correct). We started making candles together as a hobby, and a few months later, we decided to start selling the candles to friends and family on Instagram via DMs.

Reopening the store to the public is something we are working towards, and thinking a lot about.

Unfortunately, due to many factors, it is far more complicated than just opening our doors.  In addition to making sure we have procedures in place to keep both staff and customers safe, the physical layout of the store is being altered to allow proper distancing to maintain safety.

For all pickups and deliveries, our employees are instructed to wear gloves and face masks.

Within the garden center, all employees are required to wear face masks, and gloves when possible, as well as regularly wash their hands.  Frequently touched surfaces, such as doors, counters and carts, are cleaned several times a day.

Micro- and baby greens are tiny, tender, flavorful seedlings of vegetables and/or herbs. Microgreens may be harvested for their youngest leaves, while baby greens are harvested at 2"–4". Both pack a big punch when it comes to nutrients. Studies show they can be up to 40 times richer in vital nutrients than their mature counterparts.

Microgreens and baby greens are not just for chef-inspired plates anymore—these nutrient powerhouses can grow right on your windowsill.

Get ready, salads--home-grown cukes are on the way!
