The Home Garden Story
GREAT TASTE—THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY
Borrowing on the heritage and performance of Seminis® seeds, we bring home gardeners a curated selection of our most trusted varieties that are time-tested for success in the commercial market. Regardless of the variety, every seed we provide to the home garden market embodies our ongoing heritage of traditional breeding for generations of great-tasting fruits and vegetables.
We want to share our story with you, and answer some of our most frequently asked questions – questions such as, who we are, who we sell to, and what the difference is between hybrid and GMOs, among others.
