A Note from Renee Shepherd
I am excited to be partnering with your organization to grow cash
donations through our fundraising program. Here's a little background
about my seed company:
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 in every climate zone. Our seeds are non- GMO and
include my personal selection of time-tested heirlooms, certified organic
varieties, the best international hybrids and classic open-pollinated varieties. I harvest and use the vegetables and herbs in my kitchen and cut the flowers 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 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!
