Seed Donations
Since Renee’s Garden began in 1998, we have donated pre-packed boxes of vegetable, herb, and flower seed packets from previous seasons to community-based gardening programs. These donations help people of all ages and backgrounds experience the satisfaction, self-reliance, and health benefits that come with growing a garden.
Our seed donation box sizes range from 50 to 500 packets, depending on the needs of your organization.
