A little history about the roots of Red Wagon Plants….

Julie, the owner,  was born in France, a country where they take their kitchen gardens seriously and simultaneously take them for granted; they are simply a part of life.  When Julie moved as a child with her family to Vermont,  gardens always helped to ground her and make her feel at home.  When traveling as a teenager and a young adult, and later as a market gardeners in her twenties and thirties, gardens of all kinds drew her in for a closer look and connection.  

Julie grows plants because she loves them and they speak to her.  This sensitivity paired with her many years as a vegetable and herb farmer, including in Burlington's Intervale, provides her with an expertise that is invaluable to her customers, her growing business, and to her employees.
