At Flowerland we love Botanical Interests Seeds. We use them in our gardens and are pleased to make their great selection available to you in our stores!

In winter it is fun to look at seed packets and read the abundance of information available on the packet. We can both learn and dream of warmer days and the promise of a bountiful colorful garden later this year. For now as the snow flies enjoy looking through the Botanical Interests Seeds on display at each Flowerland store. Here is some information provided by Botanical Interests on how to read a seed packet.
