Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are seeds that have been germinated and created through generations of natural pollination and survival. They are often hardier, and the produce that comes from them yields more seeds that can be replanted. That means they are more sustainable than hybridized seeds.

Why should I start my own indoor herb garden?

Having an indoor herb garden serves several purposes. First, you will always have fresh herbs on hand for your cooking and other recipes. Secondly, growing an indoor garden is the perfect way to introduce kids to farming and plant growth cycles. Finally, having live plants in your home can help you feel happier and more relaxed.
