The Earthbox gardening system is the result of a dream and eight years of diligent research by Manatee County tomato farmer, Blake Whisenant. We have Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Kale, Collards, Lettuce, Celery and other seasonal vegetable plants. Full-size Earthboxes come in a variety of covers, complete with 2 Mulch Covers, a water tube.
The Earthbox is owned and operated by Whisenant Farms and the Whisenant Family and is the home of the Earthbox container growing system. The Earthbox is the product of a lifetime dream and years of diligent research by Blake Whisenant, the inventor and patent holder. The Earthbox is based on the gradient system as recognized by Dr. C.M. Geraldson, Professor Emeritus of the University of Florida.
Blake began work on developing a container for growing vegetables and flowers in the late 1980s. This work resulted in the Earthbox, a revolutionary new way of gardening and the Earthbox was opened in 1996. Since that time, thousands of home gardeners have attended the free, twice weekly classes held at the Center in Ellenton and gone home to grow superb vegetables or flowers.

This is probably my favorite time of the year.
You can still plant the majority of the Winter vegetables and begin to start planting your Spring Crop.
You can also start seeding squash, zucchini and cucumbers.
Strawberries are looking great and have their Spring blooms to look forward to which will be the largest of the year as far as production.
We still have about 60 planted strawberry EarthBoxes left and they are going quickly.
Our selection of tomatoes is looking good, we have 3 types of cherry tomatoes, orange and red grape.

We will be open for business on Monday, Labor Day, 9/6/21 from 9 am to 1 pm, our regular Monday hours.
We have plenty of tomato starter plants.
Still a good time to plant them.
Strawberry plants should arrive between the 1st to 2nd weeks of October.
Will have these varieties: Brillance, Florida Beauty, Radiance.
Many are sad to see Summer end, however, we are excited to get started on our Fall gardens and hopefully some lower temps in our future!
