The 2023 Art of Seed Calendar

2) The 2023 Art of Seed Calendar

The 2023 Art of Seed Calendar draws from our latest collaboration with a diverse crew of independent artists working in different media. Plus, everyone needs a calendar, so why not have one filled with gorgeous contemporary art inspired by the garden?

The Dahlia Gift Sampler

3) The Dahlia Gift Sampler

Dahlias are exceptionally beautiful flowers, in part because they are genetic "octoploids," meaning they have eight sets of chromosomes–four times the amount of most plants! This genetic complexity results in a wide range of diverse flower forms. To showcase this spectacular range, our Gift Samplers include a colorful mix of different types (from pompoms to waterlily-shaped blooms).

Dahlia tubers ship in spring; order a Sampler as a holiday gift and you will receive a beautiful card to give now. View details here.
