I loved visiting this (then-tiny) store during the Cold War Era. I always made a point to stop by and shop after purchasing a new pile of books from the slavic language bookstore in the same block. It was an oasis of calm and quiet in a very busy world on a very busy street.

Good folks, tools, books, seeds in bulk, support and supplies for organic gardening and - as noted above, they don't always have a huge supply of starts from their suppliers, but what they have is delightful and of the best quality.

Good to get there earlier on a weekend day for starts.

They have classes at the store, and occasionally a knife/tool sharpener comes by and sets up for the day - he's a great splendid craftsman.

Very good selection of organic soil amendments, insecticides, etc. Not many plants when I was there today (for the first time), but the ones they had were quite nice. I'd definitely go back again.
