At Canterbury Creek Gardens, we don’t sell organic products because they are trendy, we believe that simple changes like planting an organic vegetable garden, taking care of your lawn in a safe and effective way, and buying organically grown produce from responsible growers are essential parts of a better, healthier, more productive and sustainable society.
We believe that although we should all participate in the hard politics of improving our society, “the big problems that we face are really just the sum of the little mistakes that we make everyday” as Wendell Berry put it.
Canterbury Creek gardens is an all-organic garden center that brings the best produce available to Greater Cleveland — including certified organic produce — produce from select local farmers that use sustainable growing methods — and produce that we grow ourselves to the highest possible standards.
Nutritious food starts with healthy soils so we use and sell only compost based, living soils.
Our fertilizers are enriched with trace minerals from substances like kelp, humates, greensand and rock powders — and contain a rich blend of beneficial microbes like mycorrhizal fungi, beneficial bacteria, and actinomycetes which nourish and protect plants from diseases.
We offer seminars and emails to educate our customers about the problems associated with modern agricultural methods and how they can grow their own nutritionally rich food.
Our Immunity Builder Salad mix is a blend of the most nutritionally rich foods grown in the best possible way. Our Little Gems cherry tomatoes are a mouth watering delight and our organic Salad Bowl Planters are a great way to grow the world’s most nutritionally rich foods yourself. (see pics above).
Our CSA program brings you the best available produce every week. It includes our produce, local chemical-free produce, and certified organic produce.
We are still building our website, so stop back soon.
Monarch Help
This year, we will have 3 or 4 different varieties of milkweed host plants for Monarch butterflies — all organically grown to provide your Monarchs with the best food possible. These include white and carmine swamp milkweed (and probably pink) — and also common milkweed. They will be ready in late May or early June (maybe earlier so check our emails).
