Edible Gardening: Fruits/Vegetables

At Heyden’s Gardens, we carry a full selection of edible crops for various seasons, including vegetables, herbs, fruit trees and berry shrubs. We believe that there are few activities more fulfilling than growing your own food. Shop our excellent selection of organic, GMO-free vegetable, herb and flower seeds from late winter through spring.

Starting your own crops from seed has a number of advantages: your selection of varieties is often much larger, you have complete control of the growing process from germination to harvest, and….you get to start gardening earlier in the season! Depending upon the crop you can start seeds indoors as early as February, although most will ideally be sown in March or April.

We have everything you’ll need to get a jump start on your vegetable garden, including germination trays, soil mixes, grow lights, and plant labels.

If you’d rather not start your vegetables from seed we have locally grown vegetable starter plants available as soon as the weather is warm enough to set them out.

Our young vegetables include a connoisseur’s collection of heirloom and specialty tomatoes as well as a full range of other garden vegetables.

There is a certain romanticism associated with growing edible herbs.

At Heyden’s Gardens, we carry a wide selection of herbs as starter plants and as seeds. Fresh herbs add tremendous flavor to summer dishes and can be dried and preserved for use year-round.

The fruit trees we have available are selected varieties that are proven to thrive in Wisconsin’s climate.

These include the most popular varieties of apples, pears, peaches, and cherries. Home fruit production has exploded in the past few years and many people have joined the ranks of home orchardists.

We also carry an assortment of grapevines and berry shrubs for smaller landscapes and patio containers!
