Market Day - Our Humble Beginnings
"...an urban country adventure." - Kim Pierce DMN
| |
Nestled among old
majestic post oaks in the Dallas suburb of Balch Springs, Marie Tedei owns and
operates Eden’s Organic Garden Center and CSA Farm
offering CSA memberships, a community garden
area and each 1st and 3rd Saturday from April - December, the all farmer, all
clean food market day at the garden
center on the farm, where you can come out and
meet the farmers, ranchers and producers.
This historic 14 acre horse ranch & newly started urban vegetable farm is in its
3rd year of production with a heart for the local community and
fellow farmers. Member of WWOOF, TOFGA, CNG and the Balch Springs Chamber of
Commerce. Eden's Garden CSA was recently featured in
Edible DFW.
Eden's Organic Garden Center is an
independently owned, full service organic garden shop where you'll find all of
your organic gardening and lawn care needs including answers to your questions
and good old fashioned customer service. We also host the first (and so far we think the only)
all-farmers/ranchers/producers and all organic market day! On site
consulting referrals available.
The Garden Shop is open 1st and 3rd Saturdays, (same
days as the market) March -
December. See hours and location
for details. (NOTE: SEASONAL HOURS APPLY DURING DOG DAYS OF SUMMER AND OVER THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON.) See the Market Day
page for dates the farmers come out. If you need gardening products outside of
those hours, call the shop and let us know and we'll arrange a time to meet and
get your order.
 Just minutes from downtown Dallas and
located on the site of a well known quarter horse ranch formerly owned for
nearly 40 years by the Barnett family, the now all-natural horse boarding
business serves as a backdrop for the nostalgic residence built back to the
early 1900's. Chickens, ducks, guineas and more live here and frequent the
neighborhood from time to time.
This little
army of creatures makes up one of the best insect control programs ever!
We release beneficial insects if they can't keep up, but no synthetic pesticides
are ever applied out here.
Stop by and enjoy a taste of the country, see what is
growing & blooming in our demo gardens and enjoy a cup of organic coffee or herbal tea with us
under the grand old Post Oaks!
 The life of a plant starts in the
soil and you'll find brand name organic
fertilizers, compost and soil amendments to get your soil restored to health.
There are also safe, yet effective, pest
control products; safe cleaning supplies that really clean; natural
and organic feeds for your critters; gift items (for
you or a friend); and personal care items to soothe those sore gardening
muscles, hands and feet. Whew! And coming soon, we'll have fresh
Texas grown organic produce via the
Texas Organic Farmers and
Gardeners Association and other local Texas organic farmers!
We specialize in organic gardening, xeriscape planning & drought tolerant
plants carrying a selection of beautiful, hardy, Texas or southern region grown
"water savvy" perennials. We also have USDA certified organically grown and/or maintained seasonal vegetable
and herb plant starts, and certified organic
seeds-so you can "grow your own". You'll also find some of your favorite,
old fashioned colorful annual bedding plants to mix and match in planters or in
your garden of paradise or hanging baskets to decorate your porch.
We offer
free "How-to" Classes. Check our EVENTS page for the latest
topic and dates. You'll always find us ready to help answer your questions
and make good plant choices for a successful gardening experience.
The old bunk house is cozy and
full of neat things for your garden and home. Plus, we have a
work shed stocked up with all of your favorite organic gardening amendments and
fertilizers by Rabbit Hill Farm, Maestro Gro, Bradfields, Gardenville and more.
Until you get here, what should you be doing in your
paradise garden?

10 Benefits of Organic Lawn
Care - from the website of
www.safelawns.org
1.) Safety, for humans, animals, insects and
the planet
2.)
Better Health, for humans, animals, the lawns and the
planet
3.)
Water Conservation & Preservation,
since water does not often become contaminated in organic systems, which also
require less water than synthetic programs
4.)
Soil Health & Sustainability, since organics builds organic
matter and life within the soil
5.)
Pest Reduction, since insects tend to be more attracted to
out-of-balance synthetic systems
6.) Resource Conservation, since synthetic fertilizers are
derived from fossil fuels and organic systems encourage recycling, and because
organic systems emphasize less mowing
7.) Financial Savings through time, since organic systems
become more independent as the soil is improved
8.) Environmental Preservation, including a reduction in
greenhouse gases and global warming
9.) Noise Reduction from decreased reliance on power equipment
10.) Environmental Awareness from the organic practitioners, who
don’t rely on “four-step plans” and instead tend to become stewards of the land.
