Have you ever gotten a seed packet and wondered how those seeds made it to you? Or what an organic seed really is? Or what 'heirloom' means? Well today we get to learn all about seeds with THE Renee from Renee's Garden today. Her company offers flower, veggie, and herb seeds specifically for home gardeners, with a huge host of cool offerings that they test in their trial gardens in California and Vermont.
I ask Renee all the questions about trialing, sourcing, and selling the seeds that so many gardeners grow from, what she's excited about in her trial garden this year, her recommendations for new growers, her favorite flowers she grows at home, and so much more. I loved hearing her advice after having been in the industry so long, and her perspective on how gardening connects us to different cultures and history. I learned so much from this conversation and hope you will too! Follow along with Renee's Garden on Instagram @reneesgardenseeds.
In the intro, I get into some of the specific varieties of flowers I've sourced from Renee's Garden, and some recent updates from my garden and small floral design business. The Flower Friends Flower Fact is about hellebores this week, so listen in to learn something new! Stay til the end for the song of the week, which you can also find on the Spotify Flower Friends Song of the Week playlist.
