Growing Information

All of the growing information is for zone 6.  Planting time is when the seeds can be planted outside in the garden. 

Annual Flowers

Vegetable

Herbs

We receive donations of seeds in individual packets as well as bulk packages.  We combined all of the packets of onion seeds, for example, mixed them up and repackaged them for this project.  This means you will receive a number of varieties of onion seeds in you packet.  The packet will be labeled, "Onions".  We list the different varieties in the growing information section.  We have not tried to tell you everything there is to know about every variety.  With the variety names, it is easy to research using the internet. 
You will receive way more than enough seeds to plant a 3' x 10' garden.  However, if you plan to have enough of a vegetable i.e. green beans for canning, you will need more seeds and more space.  Our goal is to provide you with a variety of seeds. All of the flower seeds and most of the vegetable seeds

Sponsors

are surplus seeds that have been donated by various seed companies for use in the Granny's Garden School program. We are not selling the seeds, plants, compost or workshops.  They are provided free when you register for the program.  The registration fee pays for staff time to secure the donations, prepare the kits and administer the program.
