PLANTS

Briar Burr Gardens propagates more of its own stock each year. In the spring we have lots of vegetable and annual starts! Our growing inventory of perennials, shrubs and trees is coming along as well. We only grow stock that is hardy to our local zones and conditions and guarantee their viability! No middleman means great prices too! Look for us at our roadside stand on Burr Rd and at the Trumansburg Farmer’s Market (Wed evenings, June-October).

We utilize the Ruth Stout Method of gardening - no till! Here are some of our inspirations:
