Planning your garden can be an all year long ordeal (which is not bad). Along with preparing your space for your new plants, one of the first things you’ll need is seeds. When possible, I like to patronized black owned seed companies who have my needs at heart. What do you plan on growing is uber important in deciding what type of gardening you’ll grow, where it will be placed, and how you’ll grow. We created an article on how to start from seed if you need help, we polled Instagram of course plus our own experience these companies have some of the best varieties of veggies and fruits to choose from (for the best price).
Outside of sharing her fruit tree forest adventures in her south Florida backyard, and the most random and not so random facts packed neatly in her lush Caribbean kinky curly hair, Stefane of Seed Mail Seed Co. offers super affordable seeds (I mean seeds going for 99 cents affordable), seed boxes filled with goodies, and seasonal essentials such garlic, potatoes, etc to its audience filled with garden staples and uncommon and rare choices that you’ll love to see in your next garden bed.
Princess of Backyard Garden Seeds is a bomb herbalist, yogi, gardener, and plus a wealth of knowledge and she offers vegetable and medicinal herb seeds catered for every gardener looking to diversify their garden. She also offer a really dope kids garden kit that’s perfect for classroom and home fun.
Katrina of SoulGardener74 located in Central Florida is on a mission and I’m glad she’s brining us along! She explores the multipurpose of all plants and offers a plethora of vegetables and herbs in her Esty shop.
Per the website, Devona of Melanated Organics believe that vegetable gardening should be accessible to everyone so she decided to provide non-GMO vegetable and herb seeds straight from her homestead in Florida.
Ivy Walls of Ivy Leaf Farms is proving there isn’t much she can’t do. From starting a farm, raising cows, hosting events for her community, creating a outdoor wear line, and now a seed company – she’s providing us with staple seeds for every garden.
All of these black owned seed companies offer an diverse array of non-GMO, organic, and heirloom seeds that will not only diversify and add beauty to your garden and hopefully your kitchen dinners, but also a great gardening experience filled with so many learning experiences for the new and immediate gardeners.
