Garden manager Sheryl Rapée-Adams selects seeds

Thanks to the generosity of High Mowing Organic Seeds in Wolcott, Vermont, The Garden at 485 Elm has a great supply of seeds to start our 2015 planting.

Our acceptance letter said that High Mowing Organic Seeds will ship donations if recipients pay shipping fees. Alternatively, we could drive to Wolcott and pick up the seeds at no charge.
