Our mission is to make diverse seeds available to everyone. Although the seeds are free, you will need to pay for shipping. In addition, we ask you to consider making a donation to cover program costs. This allows us to make seed free for those who need it.

About the Seed Steward
My name is Debbie Ang and I am a home gardener living in Utah at an elevation of 4300 ft (zone 7a) and <20” rain/yr. Squash are one of my favorite plants because of the beautiful vines and the wide range of tastes, shapes, colors and sizes of fruits. Some varieties store well for months and do not require any special preservation techniques, perfect for a lazy person like me!
