Our focus on organics and sustainable gardening practices is what drives us every day. In January of 2008 we eliminated synthetic fertilizers and pesticides from our shelves. We also eliminated grass seed and lawn products from our product selection. Why grass seed? Lawns are huge consumers of water and fertilizer which leads to run off into The James River and ultimately the bay.​

Education is a key component of our mission and focus. We offer classes on topics ranging from bee keeping and natives to growing hops and snake identification. Ultimately, our focus is on the people and families that are in our community and encouraging responsible practices for a healthier environment.
