In the midst of this global pandemic, we are all thinking of ways we can be more self-sustaining. A personal garden is a great way to have more control over where your food comes from and how you can access it. Gardens also help mitigate the stress that comes with everyday life. For many of us, our gardens are not only where we grow food, but a place to connect with the earth, witness new life, and heal our mind and body.
Global Gardeners grow vegetables in solidarity with gardeners throughout the world who are planting the same seeds to provide essential nutrition and self-sufficiency for their families. Many of our partners are already practicing innovative gardening solutions using the same seeds that you'll receive in your Global Gardeners package. When you subscribe as an Individual or Family, we'll match every seed packet you receive with a packet that will be provided to one of our international partners.
- 10 Seed Packets: $20 Student, Senior, or Limited Income
