"Concord Nurseries dedicated to providing locally grown fresh vegetables and herbs by means of our environmentally conscious farming techniques."

Concord Nurseries’ Master Grower George Chapman

The recent recent record temperatures in the Boston area started spring for many local residents. While others tend to be more traditional and wait for March 20, some residents of the greater Concord, Mass. gauge the start of spring by the day Concord Nurseries opens their farm stand for business. This year, Concord Nurseries garden center at 864 Barretts Mill Road (near the Route 2 circle) opens on March 24th with their Pansy weekend promotion.

With more than three acres of greenhouse space—including 12 “small” greenhouses, 3,000 square feet each—Concord Nurseries grows an assortment of vegetables and herbs, annuals, perennials and hanging baskets at their Concord location and a new location at 22 Cranberry Highway in Rochester, Massachusetts.

“We’re chomping at the bit to get both stands up and running,” said Master Grower George Chapman, a commercial ornamental plant grower for the past 40 years. “The farming techniques we employ not only produce superior plants and vegetables, but do so in an environmentally friendlier way.”

In addition to being environmentally conscious, Concord Nurseries has another “growing advantage”. While many growers utilize the smaller standard 806 trays , Concord Nurseries grows their annual and vegetable packs in Jumbo six packs and 6” pots.. The larger trays and pots produce a larger finished product with a much larger rootball. The larger size enables you to achieve an instant landscape look with less planting labor, a better transplant rate and much faster growth for your “growing” success.

“There’s nothing more demoralizing than purchasing flowers or plants and then having them literally die on the vine,” said Chapman. “With the way we grow them, your success rate improves dramatically. And if you just want to eat the vegetables, they just plain taste better.”

In addition to using environmentally friendlier growing techniques, Concord Nurseries is also friendly to the local community. Both Concord Nurseries will again be donating a portion of their harvest to local food pantries.
The farm stand’s spring hours will be Tuesday through Thursday, 9am to 5pm, Fridays and Saturday, 9am to 6pm, and Sundays, 10am to 5pm.

Besides the farm stand being open to the general public to purchase delicious fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers, Concord Nurseries has a wholesale division to sell annuals, perennials and hanging plants to landscape professionals, businesses and other commercial accounts.
