There’s nothing quite like fresh beans straight from the vine. Crisp, sweet, and full of summer flavour!

Quick Bean Tips:
- Plant in full sun — beans love warmth!
- Sow seeds directly in the garden once the soil is warm.
- Water consistently, especially when pods start forming.
- Harvest often to keep plants producing longer.

From classic green beans to colourful yellow and purple varieties, bush beans to pole beans, there’s a bean for every garden and every dinner plate!

Keep those harvests coming with succession planting! Sow another round of beans, carrots, or lettuce every 2–3 weeks for a steady supply all summer long.

Happy Pollinator Week!

This week, we’re celebrating bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other essential pollinators! Pollinators aren’t just garden guests, they’re vital to biodiversity and food security. You can support them right from your backyard:

- Plant pollinator-friendly flowers like echinacea, sunflowers, bee balm & borage
- Create habitats with flowers, water sources, and shelter
- Try one of our wildflower mixes, crafted to attract and nourish pollinators all season long!

Together, we can grow gardens that not only look beautiful but help keep the planet buzzing!
