How Does a Seed Company Work?

 Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a seed packing company?  Epic Gardening is a very popular YouTube channel which I do not follow, but YouTube knows what I like.  This recommendation popped up in my feed and it was really enjoyable.  This is a video tour of the Botanical Interests company.  

Botanical Interests is very reliable seed company that I use from time to time and they are known for their amazing seed packet artwork.  You may have noticed that if you mail order seeds, most companies do not bother to put pretty pictures on their mail order packets.  They may spend the money on point of sale packets that you pick out of the seed rack at your local store, but save the money by sending mail orders in plain white envelopes.  Not these folks.  They always send you seeds in packets and boxes covered in appealing artwork.  I even save the boxes when I get one.

This time of year I am thinking about seeds, dreaming about seeds, seeing seeds when I close my eyes...

  1. Very interesting! I just pulled all my seeds together and mapped out my garden—I’m chomping at the bit to get out there! Of course it’s months before I can even think of getting out there. But it’s fun to dream . . .
