European Traditions In the Garden: Fruition Seed Collection & Educational Booklet (includes shipping)
This box is designed for curious gardeners, and those who are ready to get their hands dirty for the first time! Receive eight seed packets from Fruition Seeds, a beloved New York State business. For this collection, we chose herbs and veggies that are harder to find at local nurseries, or that folks may not realize are edible and medicinal.
The accompanying 70+ page educational book was created by Community Herbalist Sarah Sorci. Learn fascinating history, folk tales, traditions, and practical uses of each plant, drawing from cultures across Europe. You’ll receive dozens of recipes and other suggestions for making use of these plant friends.
Peek inside the educational booklet with this short video clip on my Instagram page.

Gardener’s note: Growing native species is so important for supporting and regenerating native insects, birds, and other wildlife. Like many plants found in American vegetable, flower, and herb gardens, the plants included in this box are non-native. I’m striving to fill at least 50% of our gardens with species native to our region of North America. I hope you’ll join me in prioritizing native plants in your garden space.
Note for alcohol-free friends: Educational booklet contains recipes and information involving alcohol consumption.
Returns & Refunds: I’m not able to accept returns. If the item hasn’t yet shipped, I may be able to offer a refund; feel free to reach out using the Contact page.
