At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Baker Creek Seed Tour

August 4, 2021 by Marilyn Odneal

Last Wednesday, a group from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds toured the State Fruit Experiment Station. Today, Emily and I visited their large and interesting operation. We toured gardens, greenhouses, and high tunnels with a large assortment of interesting plants! Jere Gettle, the founder, and Leroy, the greenhouse specialist and plant propagator, took time out of their day to give us an excellent tour!

Leroy shows us one of the plant propagation beds.
