New Cover Art

Each year we hold a catalog cover art contest to determine which work of art from our Art Pack Collection will grace the cover. The race was close this year, a testament to the amazing artists who designed this year's packs. After tallying the votes, artist Jill Mayberg's folk art piece of Summer Sunrise Tomato was chosen. Read more about the Summer Sunrise Tomato here.

Call for Art

Our call for art is now open year round! We will still announce a Call for Art ahead of our new Art Packs each year, but interested artists can now apply at anytime. Please visit this page for all the details.

Monthly Specials

12 Coupons, one per month, for online purchases, printed on page 75 of our catalog.

Ship Date Communications

Each year, we have to back-order some seed varieties due to various reasons. This year, we've made the communications on this very clear! When you are shopping online, any variety that has a red "Ships by" date is a back-ordered item that will ship later. These dates are also indicated in your shopping cart.
