Spring is in the Air!
I’m always excited this time of year as a few warm winter days remind me that spring is not far away! We recently participated in our local flower show which was a great success and lots of fun…

New Wildflower Species for 2013!
Each season we add a variety of new, unique wildflowers to our seed offerings, taking in to consideration varieties our customers have been asking for, unique species that serve a special purpose (drought-tolerant, shade, etc.) and requests from our staff gardeners. For this spring planting season, we are excited to be carrying a dozen new seed varieties and will be planting many of them in our own gardens!

Gardening is a Universal Language Too!
I’m always happily surprised in the amount of e-mails we receive from gardeners not only in the US but all over the world. Through the years, we’ve shipped our seed to countries like Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Switzerland and the Ukraine to name a few.

Valentine’s Day Blooms
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to feature some of our most romantic plants in all shades of pink, red and white. Although not blooming on February 14th, these stunning varieties bring extended romance to your lives in the spring and summer months, both in the garden and cut for endless bouquets.

It’s the Year of the Wildflower!
Whether it’s the first time reading one of my blog entries or you’re a devout follower, anytime the topic of “Wildflowers” comes up in the gardening community, the Seed Man gets excited. So you can image how ecstatic I felt when the National Garden Bureau declared 2013 “The Year of the Wildflower!”

It’s not too Early to Start Planning your Wildflower Meadow!
As I look out my window in my office, the giant snowflakes falling from the sky create a carpet of fresh snow. Sounds nice– Or, does it!? I speak to gardeners all across the country and many in warmer climates are getting ready for their “rainy season,” signaling spring is not far behind.Â

Planting Wildflowers in a City Garden
As the fall season flew by (It’s December already?), unfortunately I did not get a chance to add more spring-blooming Bulbs to my garden beds. I garden in a zone 5 and my ground is a bit too frozen to dig up. Despite this (inexcusable) procrastination on my part, I still want to experience the wonderful excitement…

Paula’s Ever-Changing Garden
When I tell people that I actually don’t like to garden, they stare at me as if I’m crazy. Looking at my landscaping, you would think that I lived for it, but there are really only two parts of gardening that I look forward to: the actual growing of things and the planning.
