2025: New Beginnings at CommonWealth Urban Farms!

2025 Partner Farmers

Lia’s Garden at CommonWealth
I took a bit of time-off over the winter to recharge my batteries, including lots of long walks in the woods. Now I’m starting hundred of seeds every week, and our compost-heated greenhouse is keeping my baby plants warm and happy through these up and down temperatures. Even after decades of gardening, I still get a thrill every time I see that first tiny sprout emerge from an even tinier seed. My seedling sales will start in mid-March with broccoli & cauliflower, followed by a slew of other vegetables, herbs and native perennial seedlings. Restraint is not my forte when browsing through seed catalogs, so expect to see some new varieties on my seedling tables this spring!

This is Tesa’s sixth year growing cut and edible flowers both in the field and in the hoop house at CommonWealth. She has expanded her growing operation at her Oklahoma City home as well and already thousands of tiny plants are keeping warm in her compost-heated greenhouse. Once warm weather is here to stay, transplanting will begin, joining flowers wintering over in the field. This winter she also has successfully experimented with flowering plants in her greenhouse. Imagine: Dianthus, calendula and pansy harvesting all winter! She sells her cut flowers to florists and you can reach her about purchasing edibles by contacting her through the Paseo Farmer’s Market.
