About
Renee's Garden Seeds 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, certified organic seeds, 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
varieties are tested and guaranteed for every major US climate zone.
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. First and foremost,
Renee’s Garden is a company run by gardeners, for gardeners. It is our
way to spread the joy of gardening as a meaningful, productive and
satisfying activity that connects us to each other and the earth.

Grow
Organically with Renee's Garden We
have been committed organic gardeners for over 25 years, using strictly
organic gardening practices with great success and satisfaction.
Everyone at Renee’s Garden eats and enjoys the organic produce we grow
in our trial gardens as a significant part of our diets. Because
reliable supplies of seed grown to the USDA’s National Organic Program
Standards are somewhat limited, our
organic seeds are sourced from small
USDA Certified Organic seed growers, family farms and cooperatives who
meet our high standards for germination, purity and the absence of
seed-borne pathogens.
Whether you plant our Certified Organic seeds or choose from our large
range of conventionally produced seed varieties, you should know that
supporting sustainable farming practices is an integral part of Renee’s
Garden. We have signed the "Safe
Seed Pledge" developed by The Council for Responsible Genetics;
we do not sell chemically treated or genetically engineered seeds.

practices. We also encourage retailers to donate unsold Renee's Garden

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.
