EPHEMERALITY

Spring wildflower season is coming to a close, the moment so well framed and loved, from emergence on the soft and sleepy earth to senescence at summers eve.  It’s a transient beauty so heartfelt, because of its limited lifespan.  Ephemeral.

This will be the last spring of Gowanus Nursery, the business has been beautiful and sustaining, however it is time for new seasons and adventures.

We will be packing up in July and August and re-formulating a future in the northwest corner of Connecticut where I have been growing regional native plants from local seed.  I’d like for ‘Gowanus’ to continue to support Brooklyn gardeners by providing fine soil amendments, tools and plants via online ordering for pickup in a local drop spot weekly during the season — More on that in the future.

To the connections made here in Brooklyn over these 20+ years, the wonderful staff & magnificent patrons, if you would like to come in to chat or say goodbye, we will be onsite with regular hours until June 25th, 2023.
