About Renee's Garden Seeds
Our seeds are available online and at fine garden centers and nurseries.
We do
not have a print catalog.
|
At Renee's Garden, I offer only the varieties that are very special for home
gardeners, based on great flavor, easy culture and exceptional garden
performance. This seed line is my personal selection of new, exciting and
unusual seed choices of time-tested heirlooms, the best international hybrids
and fine open-pollinated varieties. I harvest and use the vegetables and
herbs in my kitchen to choose the most delicious, and cut the flowers for
bouquets to select the finest colors, forms and fragrances.
 Our
individually written packets offer beautiful
watercolor portraits, with personally written descriptions, complete growing
instructions, a quick-view planting chart, growing tips, harvesting information
and cooking ideas. Inside you'll find superior quality seed- the top
germinating, reliable seed lots usually reserved for specialty growers. Renee's
Garden is my practical way to spread the joy of gardening as a meaningful,
productive and satisfying activity that connects us to each other and the earth.
Please join me!

Seeds That Make a Difference
 Every year, Renee's Garden donates seeds to a wide variety of organizations and
educational programs worldwide that work to improve social, economic and health

 Renee Shepherd is widely regarded as a
pioneering innovator in introducing international vegetables, flowers and herbs
to home gardeners and gourmet restaurants. In 1997, Renee decided to get beyond
the narrow reach of mail order. (She founded Shepherd's Garden Seeds in 1985,
later selling the company) and established Renee's Garden to do what she likes
best - searching out the very best seeds from around the world, testing them in
her own gardens, cooking (and developing recipes around their unique
characteristics), and sharing them with other gardeners. |
