REMINDER: 2012 Heirloom Tomato Sale & Food Drive This Weekend--March 17th & 18th Dear Gardening Friends, Well, here we are, just days away from our weekend-long Annual Spring Sale & Food Drive! The Nursery is buzzing with activity as we prepare for our biggest Sale yet!! We hope that you will take some time to look over our newly-updated website. The Heirloom Tomato page will give you lots of pertinent info about the 53 varieties we're offering this year. It gets pretty crowded at the Spring Sale, and it's difficult to read the little signs, so if you prepare a list before hand, you'll be able to go directly to your choices, which will be alphabetized on the driveway. Also, the Current Veggie page lists everything we'll be growing through Spring and Summer; however, not everything is ready right now. Below is a list of what you can expect to find this weekend. And please know, if something isn't ready yet, or gets sold out, we have continuous production going on!

Check the route map and decide which day is best for you! Please bring a box or flat for your selections. We also really appreciate donations of brown paper grocery bags (especially with handles...they're perfect for transporting tomatoes.) Street parking is available, but if you can carpool, all the better! Bring your like-minded gardening friends!! We'll have price signs out around the Nursery; discounts will be taken by our Cashier, Michael, when you check out. We prefer to be paid with cash or checks whenever possible; however, we are able to accept credit card payments. EVERYTHING WILL BE 10% OFF WITH YOUR MANDATORY DONATION OF FOOD PRODUCT. At the end of the weekend Sale, Two Dog Nursery will donate 5% of the total sales to the Food Bank as a monetary donation along with hopefully hundreds of pounds of food!! We're excited to welcome you to our Home Nursery, and thank you for your continued support!! Thank you also for rallying to the great need of our fellow Angelenos by your donations to the amazing work of the Los Angeles Food Bank!! See you soon!
