The Iowa Garden

Yesterday I had the very great pleasure of spending almost three hours with Mary Harvey, one of the nicest, most generous people I’ve met. She told me stories that made me laugh and gasp and want to be just like her when I grow up.

But the important bits for you to know: they’re open now, and if you’re into starting things from seed, they have quite a nice collection. There were also hundreds (thousands?) of little sprouts making their way up into the world, ready to join your garden in a month or two.

The best part for me was walking in and taking a deep breath of that small. You know it… the wet, earthy, dirty smell that is so incredible, especially with a little undernote of compost. YUMMMMMMMMM.

Okay, enough drooling.

Harvey’s is open now. Go see them. If you have self-control. Or want to start seeds.

Tell Mary I said ‘hi.’

Harvey’s is located at 611 Nile Kinnick Dr. S., Adel, IA 50003
