Spring has Sprung at Covenant Gardens!
The weather is turning warmer and the days of gardening and fresh produce are near. We want to update you on all of the early developments and new details for 2020.
Covid-19 Update:
Update: May 2020
All of our planned markets will take place as originally scheduled.
We will also take extra precautions as we serve you at our open markets by wearing masks to reduce virus risks. We value your safety. We believe it is only right and fitting that we should do our part to support the fight against the SARS-Cov2 virus by wearing masks. This non-pharmaceutical intervemtion has proven to be effective in preventing transmission of Covid-19.
Update: March 2020
We are planning to increase our capacity due to expected higher demand for our plants and general gardening interest in 2020. It appears that the old concept of the "Victory Garden" may return in light of the current fight against the Sars-Cov2 Virus.
Our schedule for upcoming markets (listed below) will remain in place if at all possible. The Farmer's Markets in Helena and Butte are currently being evaluated for safety in light of virus risks. Stay tuned for decisions regarding those markets by about May 1st.
One alternative we are considering is home delivery of plants to your doorstep if you wish to avoid the public traffic at our markets in Butte, Helena, Whitehall, and Bozeman. If available, our fresh Jersey Supreme and Purple Passion asparagus can be included in your order as well (yum, yum!).
Beginning on May 1st, you can choose your selection of plants from our Variety List, and e-mail your order to Covgardens@gmail.com. We will let you know our scheduled delivery days via return e-mail, and drop the plants off at your doorstep on our delivery day.
This home porch delivery will minimize risk of spreading the virus due to social interaction, and it will help protect the safety and well-being of our customers. There will be no extra charge for this delivery service, but tips are always greatly appreciated.
We hope you and yours stay safe, and have a great 2020 growing season!
