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 from around the world  Renee's Garden seeds are selected from growers we know and trust in the USA, Holland, Italy, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Thailand, Japan, China and New Zealand. All our seeds are carefully trialed and evaluated in our test gardens in different climate zones before being added to our line. |
Renee's Cookbooks To complement your kitchen garden, we offer Renee's "Recipes from Kitchen Garden" cookbooks, with great ideas for sharing the harvest with family and friends throughout the year. |

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 with them (and developing recipes
around their unique characteristics), and sharing them with other
gardeners. | |
