The Garden Shack – La Covacha

by Contento on April 29, 2010

The Garden Shack on The Ancha

The Garden Shack or La Covacha in Spanish is an organic garden supply store on the Ancha de San Antonio. Mike Scott, the owner, helped us plant the first phase of our new kitchen garden.

I highly recommend them. They brought all of the plants, soils, and soil amendments for us to get started. They are very knowledgeable and fairly priced. If you like to garden they like to talk plants.
