Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of plants does Peet Farm Greenhouses typically carry?
Greenhouse nurseries in Vermont commonly offer vegetable and herb transplants, flowering annuals, and perennials suited to the region's climate. Calling (802) 462-2341 ahead of your visit is the best way to find out what's currently growing and available.
Are greenhouse-grown plants ready to go directly into the ground?
Plants grown in a greenhouse need a brief hardening-off period before being planted outdoors, especially in Vermont where late spring frosts are still possible. Most local nurseries will give you guidance on when and how to transition your plants safely into the garden.
Does Peet Farm Greenhouses carry plants that attract bees and other pollinators?
Many Vermont greenhouse operations stock flowering plants with strong pollinator appeal, including herbs like lavender and borage as well as flowering perennials. If you have a specific goal like improving forage for a backyard beehive, it's worth asking staff for recommendations when you visit.
When is the best time to visit for the largest plant selection?
In Vermont, greenhouse nurseries typically see their peak inventory in May and early June, when the risk of hard frost drops and gardeners are ready to plant. Visiting early in the season gives you the best selection before popular varieties sell out.
Can I buy plants in quantity for a large garden or small farm in Cornwall?
Local greenhouse operations often accommodate larger orders for customers who need flats of transplants or bulk quantities of a particular plant. Contacting the greenhouse in advance to discuss your needs gives them time to set aside what you're looking for.
Are the plants at Peet Farm Greenhouses grown without pesticides harmful to bees?
This is a great question to ask directly when you visit or call, since growing practices vary between operations. Many small Vermont greenhouse growers are mindful of pollinator health and may use reduced-input or organic growing methods, but it's always worth confirming before you buy plants for a pollinator garden.
