I have loved this store for more than 20 years! Last night I ordered some juice glasses to have shipped to my senior mom in Georgia and this morning I realized when I received my shipping notification that they were coming to me instead. I emailed them and promptly received a reply that they would correct my mistake! I am so grateful for their kind and quick response especially knowing how much extra folks are having to navigate with a shopfront who also ships products. I highly recommend this wonderful local business!

The people here are super friendly and helpful. My experience today was great. I bought 3 plants and 5 glass jars. I highly recommend their fertilizer also.

Every time I come here I am greeted warmly at the door. Every employee is super helpful, and they always have what I need. If they are ever out of stock, they usually have a definitive timeline on when said product will be in stock again. Great place for gardening and home supplies. Tons of local product.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Teresa Nohrenberg | Mar 10, 2019

Yes, they do! Perlite and rice hulls, as well. All 3 are in the $20-30 range, I believe.

Do you have any onion or plant starts yet?

Down to Earth Home & Garden (Owner) | Feb 8, 2022

Hi there, no onions yet- we are expecting a big order of onion bunches mid-late February. Keep an eye on our social media platforms, we will definitely announce their arrival! We have lots of plant starts in the nursery including bare root fruit trees, hellebores, primroses, shrubs, herbs, perennials, and more.

Do you have any Pinguicula - Butterworts- Carnivorous plants with sticky leaves?

Judy Anzo | Jan 8, 2022
Abraham Alfaro | Jan 9, 2022

They very occasionally do, but mostly when they do receive carnivorous plants, they get pitchers and flytraps.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

People are asking | Apr 13, 2021
Down to Earth Home & Garden (Owner) | Apr 14, 2021

Thank you for your question! We are strongly encouraging social distancing in store, following the current capacity limits, and requiring all employees and customers to wear an appropriate facial covering while in our store and also in our outdoor nursery. We keep most of our doors and windows open to allow for airflow in the building, and supply hand sanitizer at entrances and our registers for our customers to utilize while they are shopping with us. There are plexiglass barriers at our cash registers as well.

Do you have kale starts yet?

Jane Pittenger | Mar 9, 2021
Down to Earth Home & Garden (Owner) | Mar 10, 2021

We do! Our nursery has kale and other veggie starts available right now. :)

Will you be getting more vegetables in the next two weeks--specifically Diva cucumbers, other Gypsy peppers, and a disease resistant zucchini?

Beth Gerot | Mar 9, 2021
Down to Earth Home & Garden (Owner) | Mar 10, 2021

Hi Beth! Thank you for your question. Our plant buyer looked into it, and our growers are out at this time and she's not seeing any on the availability list. However, we did get in some Dasher cucumbers, which are a good substitute for Diva. As far as zucchini, finding a disease resistant/powdery mildew resistant variety is really tricky! She gives the advice for zucchini success: good sun, lots of air running over and through the plants, and always watering at the base of the plant at soil level and never overhead. We hope this information helps!

Does Down to Earth sell raised garden beds and weed barriers?

brocksprogramming | Mar 9, 2021

Can I bring a sample of my dirt/soil to test it to see what kind of nutrients/minerals I need?

Laura B.A. | Mar 9, 2021
Down to Earth Home & Garden (Owner) | Mar 10, 2021

Hi Laura, We do not offer any soil testing services, however we do have some fairly inexpensive Rapitest soil testing kits that can offer high to low results of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash, and the pH of your soil at home. If you're looking for a more in depth route, you can also give our garden department a call (541) 342-6820 for a list of local laboratories that you can send a soil sample to for analysis.

Do you have any tropical plants that are safe to put in terrariums for exotic animals?

Jason Barkley | Mar 9, 2020

Hi Jason, I'm unable to answer your question, however if you call the store and ask to speak with our houseplant department, we have several knowledgeable staff on hand who can help you out! (541) 342-6820

Sandy Andersen | Mar 9, 2020

Hi Sandy, we do not currently have cabbage shredders. We have had them in the past, but the kitchen buyer has had a hard time finding availability to order. Thank you for checking with us!

Do you accept compost from our kitchen?

diane malchow | Mar 10, 2019
Lou Dribin | Mar 11, 2019

I have not heard of them offering this service. They would more likely have the supplies to help you create your own compost bin.

I bought 3 different kinds of morning glory. One of them has developed leaves with 5-7 sharply-pointed parts. I'm wondering if I got a different plant entirely, and if so, what it might be? Can I take a picture and send it to you? Thanks.

If you are looking for a fertilizer to use on your blueberry plants, Acid Mix is going to be an excellent go to. Be sure to check out the free handout on blueberry care in the store for more information on planting and growing healthy blueberry plants.
