Welcome to Tiger Gardens!
We are Sue & Tim Tiger, and you can find us at the Urbana, Illinois Farmer's Market every Saturday.
We make award-winning jams, jellies, salsas, sauces, soups, pickles, and relishes from locally-grown produce.
Our mission is to share with you the joy of canning fruits and vegetables that actually taste good!
Tiger Gardens Blog
I'm so excited to share with you weekly what we're doing in the garden to grow our veggies for our canned goods and take you through the canning process so you can see what we're making each week.
