Sharing the pleasure and satisfaction of growing the best seed varieties chosen by gardeners for gardeners


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 conditions and promote sustainable organic gardening practices.

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.
