Our Seeds are In!

We are celebrating our 22nd anniversary - from the beginning, we recognized the importance of heirloom seeds.  About seven years ago, we asked a few local greenhouses to grow plants for us from our seeds. Luckily, they agreed - a win/win situation. Small businesses working together do alot to keep funds rolling in the local economy rather than to corporate headquarters somewhere else.
