What to do in the garden in May and June

Starting with a simple roadside vegetable stand fifty years ago, Little York Plantation has grown to become Central New York’s “Garden Destination.” But according to its owner, the credit for the business’s success lies elsewhere.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating our 50th anniversary,” says Jackie Crane, owner of Little York Plantation. We owe our success to our loyal customers and our dedicated team of professionals who have worked tirelessly to create and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces throughout upstate New York. We hope to inspire homeowners to create outdoor living spaces for their enjoyment and to add value to their property.”

Spanning six acres, eight greenhouses, and an inspiring nursery/garden center space, Little York Plantation serves the Syracuse, Cortland, and Ithaca regions with professional services as well as merchandise such as plants and supplies.

Little York Plantation is home to a tremendous selection of plant material, garden art, landscaping needs, and more. Over the past five decades, the team has built a reputation for exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and an overall superb garden shopping experience.

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Little York Plantation has planned a series of special events and promotions throughout the summer season, including festive themed events such as garden picnics and “An Enchanted Evening.” Emporium weekends are scheduled monthly with art vendors, food trucks and family activities. There are new classes and workshops are planned. And, last year, the Antique Shop Upstairs in the barn was added with more than 1500 square feet of antiques and vintage goods—all great reasons for a road trip and a little shopping!
