where to buy compost / seedlings for outdoor backyard garden in nyc?

[Celia Eydeland]

Hello ! newbie question!!

Looking to grow some kale and leafy greens in our outdoor raised beds,

because we're getting a late start to the season - we were thinking to use started seedlings 

in the past we went to Williamsburg's Crest - but now that its closed- any leads on where to get young kale/lettuce plants, and ideally a place to buy soil / compost as well for an outdoor garden? 

Thank you!!

Hey, you can get good soil and compost at garden world. Haven’t been there yet this season to see if they have veg seedlings out https://www.nygardenworld.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoq8BuUIw7AXUXB373047f8KDBvmYDmjv0sJSpcB7aolLUqdBX0e

I’m going to hicks nursery tomorrow to grab some stuff. I can look for kale seedlings and report back. And if that’s too far I can prob grab some for you next time I go.

Also the grownyc seedling sale is coming up https://www.grownyc.org/green-space/plant-sale order deadline is Friday April 4

And you can order the most incredible seedlings from rise and root to pick up at La finca del sur in the Bronx on May 10 https://grownby.app/farms/rise-root-farm/shop

Feel free to reach out if I can help grab anything I’m always kind of between nurseries and can grab an extra tray of something

If you are able to com to Flushing, Queens, the last few years I've picked up seedlings at Hanyang Mart on Northern Blvd
