Twenty-six day old tobacco seedlings

Twenty-six day old tobacco seedlings in our germination facility

Here in our Brooklyn headquarters, we started our first crop of seeds on March 14. Spring could not come soon enough for us!

No matter your location, there’s still plenty of time to start your own seeds for spring planting. Visit our store to purchase our Burley tobacco seeds - as always, all profits support the creation and advancement of exciting new works of contemporary art.

Or, if starting seeds is not for you, contact us by April 30 by sending an email to postmaster[at]gowanusprojects[dot]com. We can arrange to send plants within the continental US, while supplies last. Our customary free shipping will not apply to plant orders, sorry.

Gowanus Gold seeds

Gowanus Gold seeds

Seeds for 2009 planting are now available! Purchase them on-line at our store or in person at Spring, the design and art emporium in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood.

New this season, our handmade packaging now features letterpress printing on kozo paper. As always, we donate 100% of our profits to support the creation and advancement of exciting new works of contemporary art.

Please note, strong winds and ensuing plant damage in 2008 have resulted in a smaller seed crop this year than in previous seasons. So, place your orders early to guarantee your own Gowanus Gold™.
