We have set up this year's partnership with Botanical Interests to raise funds for the garden through seed sales.  All we have to do is purchase, and urge friends to purchase, flower and vegetable seeds through Botanical Interests using the below link and we will automatically receive a portion of all sales generated:

People can also go to http://www.botanicalinterests.com/nonprofits.php and select Edna Maguire School and start ordering.



Their product really is unique. Their seed packets aren't just paper envelopes with seeds in them; they have HUGE amounts of information - enough to make even the novice gardener successful. The packet itself is gorgeous - they use very detailed painting instead of photographs. The seed quality is surpassed by none and is UNCONDITIONALLY guaranteed. They have over 500 varieties, all chosen with growing for the home gardener the primary focus. 120 of the 500 varieties are certified organic. All 500 varieties are untreated with pesticides. There is something for everyone. For example, they have Catgrass (for anyone with cats). They have a drought tolerant flower mix. They have herbs such as many different basils, cilantro, and more. They have lettuce mixes (which are quite expensive in the grocery stores). Don't hesitate to review their website for additional tidbits of information.  They are a family owned business, not a multi-national corporation so they are passionate about their product and it shows in the quality.
 
So start planning your garden and urge your friends, neighbors and relatives to do likewise and remind them they are helping our Children's Garden to grow!
