Space To Grow

With Spring just around the corner, A Space to Grow offers sustainable solutions for the green gardener. Dwight Hess has taken a local and organic approach with his urban garden shop. Just steps away from Central Market, Dwight offers green inspiration for the aspiring gardener or those with a green thumb looking for the best organic soil and local organic seeds.

Unique American made and international Fair Trade garden art make great gifts or accents pieces for indoor and outdoor plants. For the past three years this shop has worked to promote sustainability in the local community by bringing in the freshest healthiest products possible. Dwight says the shop is “striving in store to be as green and healthiest for the environment as possible.”

In the near future a Space to Grow hopes to get together with local artists and floral organizers to provide a First Friday venue to support emerging artists who have more difficulty having their work shown. Check out their new website (available April 1) for updates on upcoming events and classes on “going organic in the garden” and “cooking with organic.” Dwight recommends getting seeds started anytime in the next couple of weeks to get them out when Mother’s Day hits.

In his own garden Dwight plans his plants on a whim when he’s in the mood. He tries to be different each season, typically gravitating towards strong architectural plants based on their texture and shape. Whether looking for advice on how to get a green garden started or just a convenient spot to grab sustainable annuals and perennials, a Space to Grow offers inspiring and environmentally friendly solutions.
