Southern Heirlooms, Wherever Possible.
Working closely with the Sand Mountain Seed Bank, my goal is to grow the old Southern seeds your grandmother might have grown in her North Alabama garden. These seeds are rich with stories and extremely well adapted to this place, allowing them to thrive in our soils and climate, while withstanding local pests and climate extremes.
