Down To Earth
Description
Garden-inspired goodness, from plants to the products and gifts they inspire... Down To Earth was originally founded in 2004 as a potential 'distraction' from my corporate career as a Food Quality Professional. After being put on the back burner for a while, it was time to dust off the shingle and hang it out full-time.
Down To Earth offers culinary/medicinal herbs, scented geraniums, veggie starts (in season), and a variety of other plants as they pique my interest or strike my fancy. These plants are non-certified organically grown in 2400 sq. ft. of greenhouse space. The greenhouses are currently licenced and inspected by the State of Tennessee. I have also created garden-related products that include seasoning blends, tea blends, Garden Girl (copyrighted) T-shirts, and more.
I can provide presentations on a variety of garden and herb-related topics, food safety, allergens, etc., to any size group.
While my greenhouses are not open to the public, visits can be arranged by appointment only. I will also entertain contract growing on a case by case basis.
Down To Earth is a one-woman show (with help and support from loving husband, Mark). I love what I do and I hope it is evident in my plants, products and customer service!

I never cease to be amazed by the strength of seedlings pushing up a layer of soil.

Sunset at the greenhouses a few nights ago. The photo doesn't do it justice. I love the beauty of nature.
Thanks to my two busy bees, Bev Fazio & Taylor Smith, I'm getting caught up!

While more income would be great right now, I've had to suspend my winter market set-ups to get more work done in the greenhouses. Having the flu put me at least 2 weeks behind on everything. However, if there is something you need, you can always message me here or email me at dte0853@epbfi.com. We aim to please!
Just a reminder about veggie starts for your garden. If you're interested, let me know soon. Things get even crazier in March... By then I'll be as mad as a March Hare! Of course, it will take a trained eye to tell it from my normal behavior!!

Repotting plants that go dormant in the winter is the gardener's equivalent of an Easter egg hunt
