SeeingGreen ™

Don’t be surprised if a chicken with a harried hairdo greets you at the entrance to this abundant little nursery. As part of its line of locally produced plant offerings, Pistils also sells several varieties of chickens for the growing crowd of urban poultry owners. Unlike many commercial nurseries where plants are kept to uncomfortably rigid rows, Pistils’ displays will make even the most reluctant gardener yearn to get dirty. Meander around Pistils artfully fenced retail yard to discover plants ranging from the common to the exotic or shop in the newly built-to-look old storefront for an assortment of garden books, handmade crafts, seed packages, and bulk soil amendments. In true Seeing Green fashion, Pistils also offers free workshops covering topics such as composting, garden journaling, and of course, keeping chickens in the city.
