Passion to Seed Gardening

Providing chemically-free & organic based produce from Zimbabwe in Montgomery County, MD
my work

"I find therapy in interacting with the soil, putting a tiny seed into the ground, seeing it grow into a bountiful harvest. Personally it gives me hope, faith, renewal of spirit irrigated by drops of love on each plant I put into the ground."

From the Farm to Your Plate

Passion to Seed Gardening (PTSG) came into being in the Spring '15. As the name suggests, this all came about as a passion from within to practice sowing the seed in the garden and relishing the journey as the seed grows.
