Back for another year, its the Annual Kiddie Science Lab Plant Sale Fundraiser! This year, we've added more flowering plants, particularly those that are pollinator-friendly. All plants are already germinated and are approximately 6 to 10 inches tall upon purchase. They will need to be re-potted or transplanted. Individual plant details can be found below. Order and pay online, then schedule your pick up at the Lab **new dates have been added**.
**********
BEACON IMPATIENS- Impatiens are a great colorful option for the shade. Will grow 10-12” high, spaced 12-14” apart. Can be grown indoors.
COSMOS 'SONATA' - Bright, colorful daisy-like blooms on tall stems with ferny leaves. Tolerates poor soil, heat and drought. Height: 18-24” A good plant to attract pollinators. Prefers full sun.
PETUNIA 'CASCADE'- More compact and 2 to 4 weeks earlier to flower. Huge, 4 to 5-inch, carnation-like flowers hold up well in inclement weather.
SNAPDRAGON (small) - This delightful dwarf strain makes a lovely display in annual borders. Height: 8-10"; 6-8" spread. A good plant to attract pollinators. Works well indoors.
BASIL 'SWEET GENEVA' - This popular strain has large, dark green leaves with a pleasant sweet flavor, and is used for flavoring many foods, especially tomatoes and peas. Both leaves and flowers are also used fresh or dried in salads. A great choice for pesto; plants grow to about 2 ft. high. Grows well indoors, prefers full sun.
DILL - Does well in the full sun or part shade. Sometimes it’s called dill weed because it comes back in the herb garden if the seeds from the previous year have fallen to the ground. Harvesting the dill weed tops just before the flower opens gives you the best flavor.
CUCUMBERS 'MARKETMORE' – Leading slicer in the U.S., this uniformly dark green beauty holds its shape and quality through several picks. Solid reputation as a dependable open-pollinated slicer.
TOMATO 'SWEET 100' CHERRY - This large plant yields an incredible number of the best tasting bite-sized cherry tomatoes! They’re produced in grape-like clusters, bear all season long, and get high praise for their sweetness.
SWISS CHARD 'BRIGHT LIGHTS' - These brilliantly-colored stems are so beautiful that you may forget to harvest the succulent, sweet leaves! Performs well in cool or mild weather. Cut at any stage and new leaves will grow.
INCH PLANT 'WANDERING DUDE'- This houseplant was propagated by Kiddie Science Lab young scientists. Features green, heart-shaped leaves with purple stripes and a silvery sheen to them. This plant loves bright locations.
SNAKE PLANT- Commonly known as Saint George's sword, mother-in-law's tongue, and viper's bowstring hemp, among other names. This houseplant requires light watering and prefers shade to partial sun. **Limited quantities. Comes in a glass planter.**
