We are J & J Gardens-we carry fresh veggies picked daily. Our produce is all naturally fertilized. We love to keep our produce basically organic. We are not certified, but are aiming for the Local Food Plus Way. To date we have beans, cucumbers, peas, zuccinni, baby potatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, carrots, beets, peppers, and tomatoes. We also carry fresh herbs- baby dill, parsley, and summer savory. This produce is all locally grown by us. Sweet corn will be ready soon and hopefully a ample supply of tomatoes. Tomatoes are slowly coming in. They have been so great in flavour. We have also been enjoying the excellent taste in cucumbers. Nothing beats the flavour of fresh garden grown veggies. We are located at the Altona Farmers Market every Sat morning from 10-12 a.m. east of the Altona Mall downtown. Come check us out! Veggies listed does not consist the total varieties we carry!

Make sure you fertilize your hanging baskets. My favorite is slow release consisting of 14-14-14, this is a every day source of fertilizer for your flowers. Sprinkle it on the soil under the plant, and you can also work it into the soil. Every time you water your pot it will get a shot of fertilizer. Another must is soil less mix with Gel pieces. It saves your flowers from drying out. You need to only water half as often.

We carry both of these products. Drop us a line and we will answer your gardening questions. Enjoy the weather and happy gardening!

We are J & J Gardens, run and operated by our family. J & J stands for James and Joyce Hildebrand. We have run and operated this business since 1991 and have fully enjoyed it.

We are located from Altona-3 miles west on #201 from McDonald's and 1-1/2 miles south (Road 7W). Come check us out! Everyone Welcome!
