Hot Plants

Ian Willson and the Hot Plants crew are BACK! If Ian’s name sounds familiar, he is also known as the Dirt Nerd, a monthly contributor to Antigravity Magazine providing musings and guidance for other dirt nerds and gardeners. Hot Plants’ philosophy is to raise their plant starts with “spartan love” so that the plants may “survive the slings and arrows of the Southeast with relative ease, once they are let into the world.” In addition to providing market shoppers with edible, herbal, and medicinal plant startups, Hot Plants nursery also offers tips and advice on how to keep that veggie patch thriving. Hot Plants also operates a small nursery in the Upper Ninth Ward that is open most Sundays from 12-5 pm. AND, they will be joining us in December for our Mid-City reopening!
