About Duck
Creek Gardens
Duck Creek was founded in 2013 by Howard and Betsy Downey at the site of the former Elsbury’s greenhouse.
We strive to provide high-quality plants and excellent customer service.
Fresh Berries
Looking for something a little sweeter? We grow our own berries including Black Raspberries, and Blackberries are usually available in late June and the early part of July. Please call to confirm availability.
All of our berries taste great whole and fresh or baked into delicious pies and pastries. We sell our berries in containers or you can come down to the farm with your family and pick your own.
Off-Season Produce
We know how frustrating it can be to find fresh produce when the usual growing season ends or has not yet arrived. We’ve managed to work around this problem with our greenhouses. Using just the right temperatures and conditions, we can grow fresh off-season vegetables without sacrificing quality or flavor. When the weather has turned chilly and you are looking for fresh veggies to add to a dish, then come visit us and see what we have available.
