Lil’ Ladybug Gardens was born 6 years ago when Pat wanted a tomato for his hamburger in Early May. A tasty tomato could not be found and Lil’ Ladybug was born.
We sell vegetable plants, annuals, perennials, and baskets beginning in May out of the greenhouse.
We have 4 high tunnels set up to help us start our vegetable business early. Our goal each year is to have our tomatoes and cucumbers ripe and ready to go on June 1. In addition to the 4 high tunnels which house our tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, we also have a little over an acre of traditional outside garden space. In this space we raise a little bit of everything with an emphasis on green beans, sweet corn, potatoes, onions, beets, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and squash. We also raise products for our Pumpkin Patch which we have during the month of October. ie. pumpkins, colored corn, gourds, winter squash.
During October we offer a Harvest Festival/Pumpkin Patch complete with games, strawstacks, hay rides, food, and crafts. We are open on Friday and Saturday 10 – 5 and Sunday 2 – 5. We are available for schools and groups during the rest of the week.
