We're Giving Away 1,000,000 Seeds This Fall.

Fifteen falls ago, botanist Helena Viana kept a basket of free seed packets on the counter of her little neighborhood flower shop, under a handwritten sign: “Free — sow something before the frost.” It emptied in two days.

Every fall since, the Giveaway has come back — 15 falls in a row, thousands of gardens started.

This year, for the first time ever, it’s happening online: 1,000,000 free seeds. Build your own pack — up to 10,000 seeds, mixed from the varieties that sow best in your state this fall. You only cover shipping.

Answer a few quick questions and build your own free pack — up to 10,000 seeds, matched to your state and timed to your first frost.
