Fresh Food!  No food tastes better than food made with ingredients you grew.  We have had just the best time growing (no pun intended) our herb and veggie program over the last few years.  We have been adding new flavors to our list are organically grown herbs and vegetables every year. All of our herbs and veggies are grown in a coconut husk pot, in organic soil, and fed with organic fertilizers.  The coco pot is environmentally friendly and can be planted right into your garden; roots grow right through it!  The most important thing is all of our herbs and vegetables are grown chemical and pesticide-free, ensuring a safe crop yield for the whole family. Trust Van Wilgen grown herbs and vegetables for quality plants that are grown locally and organically.  We think it is so important that kids know where food comes from.
