Ever since I started growing vegetables by seed, I concentrated on finding companies that offered only those that were not chemically treated or genetically engineered. It just made sense!

As an affiliate, I suggest products I have used for many years, love, and/or have researched and earn a commission from qualifying purchases you order.

All of the seed packets from Renee’s Garden Seeds truly explain everything you “need to know to grow.” Not only will you know when you will be able to harvest that pepper, but when to plant it, how, where (best sunlight conditions), and the height and special information about that particular variety. Their focus is on the true pleasure of growing from seed and the selections offered and cookbooks are sure to please both the new and seasoned gardener.

Her selections of organic and Non-GMO seeds make it difficult to narrow the choices down! Why add organic compost to your soil, plant to enjoy special varieties not available in stores or local nurseries, and then grow chemically treated seeds? That said, I have ordered many packets of flower and vegetable seeds from Renee’s Garden Seeds for over two decades and have had great harvests. A years-long favorite are her Jericho Romaine lettuce seeds which also happens to be my Siberian Husky’s absolute favorite!

I had the pleasure of meeting Renee Shepherd when we were both speakers at the Philadelphia Flower Show! What a powerhouse of a woman and what a selection of annual and perennial seeds from her quality-focused seed company.
