Earthworks nursery, "the natural gardening center", began 16 years ago as a "mom and pop" retail nursery. The first year or two of business, with our organic philosophy, we were the different ones in the garden business. Times have changed. The natural way of gardening is very much the way of the future, once again.

Our great-grandparents were all natural/organic gardeners and farmers, they had no choice. Chemicals were not yet available. Food was better tasting and better for you.

Many people today want instant gratification in all areas of their lives. For some, finding bugs on prized tomatoes calls for an instant kill from a chemical insecticide. They are not considering what they are exposing themselves to. They are not only breathing that chemical, but it is absorbed into the skin of the vegetable and then ingested.

We at Earthworks strive to educate on all the many benefits of natural/organic gardening and the most natural methods of pest and disease control.

Once you become an organic gardener you discover how simple and responsible this type of gardening is.
