The Westport Macomber Turnip, while commonly called a turnip, is botanically a rutabaga (Brassica napus), and it holds a special place in the history of New England agriculture. It produces large, white roots with either green or purple shoulders. Known for its smooth skin, making it easier to clean. Versatile in the kitchen, it can be baked, roasted, mashed, or used in soups and stews.
"It's always good to check out the koi pond and see the turtles. The plants are beautiful, and they have a good selection of soils and pots. Awesome selection of herbs too! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable."

"Beautiful nursery filled with the most beautiful selection and variety of anything you can think of! Trees, flowers, indoor/outdoor plants of every kind you can imagine, a wide variety of fantastic retail products and more! Very great customer service from the staff and available to help with a smile. A bit on the pricier side compared to other nurseries in the area, but also worth the money spent on quality products! Will definitely be back 😊"

"I’ve been here many times to get irrigation supplies. I really appreciate their knowledge, patience, and assistance on the subject. I also like that in their lawn irrigation center, it’s only supplies you might need for your lawn, nothing else."
