How Does a Seed Company Work?

Grab some seeds: Today we venture out to Broomfield, Colorado to Botanical Interests to see how a seed company works from the inside out. Plus, an EPIC announcement at the end of the video! Tabitha: Thank you Kevin for giving us a inside look! I ve thought to myself how do they do seed saving and packaging on a mass scale, plus some tiny seeds get de-hulled, how is that done lol! I love Botanical Interests, their seeds enabled me to grow some of the most delicious strawberries, lettuces, herbs (tea herbs too) and veggies. Their cut flowers and native flower seed varieties are amazing. Last year for the first time I grew Indian Summer rudbeckia, and Goblin gaillardia, let me say they thrive in Texas summers just beautifully!

Kevin, I am confident you will not let Botanical Interests echo the demise of beloved Smith & Hawken, which was bought and sold by various retail conglomerates, including Scotts Miracle Grow and now Target. The original Smith & Hawken guys said Scotts could not have been a worse corporate owner. I used to order religiously from the original Mill Valley catalog way back in the day and I was devastated about what happened to that company.
My hunch is that Curtis and Judy are ready to retire and chose Epic Gardening just as much as Epic Gardening chose Botanical Interests. Well done, and best of good luck moving forward!

I love Botanical Interests. They were one of the first seed companies I bought from when I started to get into gardening. I love their packaging. It's so pretty and also loaded with information. I'm so glad the company will continue on. They are one of my favorites to buy from and to daydream while looking through their seed catalog.

We are incredibly honored and excited to carry on the legacy of Botanical Interests now that we've acquired the seed company! Curtis and Judy built an incredible brand and the most beautiful packets in the business. Thank YOU all for your support of Epic over the years. we couldn't have done it without you! Keep on growing, Kevin

This is so exciting! I think it s a good fit, both for Epic Gardening and Botanical Interests! I had never heard of Botanical Interests before seeing this video. The publicity is good for the company, and I m sure the company will be a great source of material for future Epic Gardening videos. Congratulations to all involved!

I'm really in shock! What a surprise announcement! Congratulations! Can there be a follow up video with some of the farmers who sell to the seed company to find out more about the unique things that have to happen to grow and harvest plants for seed? I'm especially interested in how they create hybrid seeds.

I would love for them to do a sticker book of the seeds packets they carry so we can use them in our gardening journals or scrapbooks. Right now I cut the envelope after use, but it takes a lot of space in my journal so something smaller would be great (even if not with adhesive.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure I've ever bought a botanical seeds packet. I've never really noticed them back when I lived in Houston or here in SE Idaho. I've been buying most of my seeds from mi gardener as of late, but I'll look into botanical

I always love to learn about things like this. Of course I imagined a bunch of garden elves or gnomes counting seeds by hand. I hope your business ventures go well. I have never ordered botanical before, will have to give them a try.

Love that seed company every spring I always look at their selection of seeds, because I always can find some variety I've either never seen before, or can never find. Plus I live in Colorado so its always good to buy local.

Congratulations! So happy and proud of your achievement. You are such an awesome teacher the further nurtured my love of gardening. Hopefully one day I can be a provider of seed when I move to a more viable location.

What I love about Botanical Interests is the art on the seed packet. It is the main distinction and what makes them so unique! Thank you for this tour and congratulations!
