Nursery/garden center deliveries in Baltimore, MD?

May 4, 2020 11:54 AM

I'm trying to send someone under lockdown in Baltimore some tomato plants and other garden-y things and I'd like to support a local business that's not a box store if possible. Are there any nurseries/farmstands that have converted to doing deliveries while we're in lockdown that anyone can recommend? Contact-less pickup is an unlikely possibility.

Best answer: There have been a few temporary closures; I hope someone will be by with a first-hand rec.
Greenfields (410-323-3444) has been in business since 1923, has tomatoes and herbs in stock, and is making deliveries
Meyer Seed Company of Baltimore (800-458-7333), since 1910, is mailing seed catalogs (retail store arm has other garden supplies)
Belle's Hardware (410-728-4844) has general gardening supplies, incl. seeds
North of Baltimore, Valley View Farms offers self-service in-store; still has a 'call about delivery' notice on the site: [phone]
East of Baltimore, Casson's Nursery has a limited online presence, and asks customers to call for updates: [phone]

FreshFarms.org: Can’t make it to the market? Many vendors will deliver their goods straight to your door. Choose your friend's neighborhood to find live plants for delivery (ex. - Dupont's Black Rock Orchard has young tomato plants - for pickup; in the 21009 ZIP code, Jones Family Farms delivers live plants as part of a CSA program)
