About Seacat Gardens

Carl’s designer vegetables are pure art. Heirloom seed stock, some near extinction, groomed and grown to produce some of the most tender and tasty tomatoes, greens, and herbs with an attention to detail that rivals Italian designer goods. With varietal names like Black Russian, Cherokee Purple, and Snowbell, these are no ordinary tomatoes, which show in a palette of colors that rival the spring collections in Milan. Even better, Carl’s putting his design skills to use by cultivating a couple of signature tomatoes, which will include a Cherokee Orange. His attention to gardening detail and creation of high-end and fragile foodstuffs has earned him the nickname “the Gucci gardener.”
