Erika L on 17 Jun 21:30

I really like Zinnias

Jean Thompson on 17 Jun 21:30

I love Zinnias as pollinators, Love the flowers like cosmos too as well as marigolds and cone flowers, My Grandma used to have Honeysuckle vine trained to chicken wire by her back Porch, always bees around.

Elizabeth on 17 Jun 21:30

I love dandelion and yarrow!

Pam Gibson on 17 Jun 21:30

Serviceberry is on my want list, but 4 varieties of milkweed are new to my garden. I want blanket flowers too.

Joan LaFemina on 16 Jun 04:25

Thank you!

Vickie Virt on 16 Jun 04:25

Queen Anne’s Lace

Izzy Vaughan on 15 Jun 02:04

Gardening is my serotonin boost to start my days. Just going to my garden and seeing the new sprouts, new growth, new flowers help me start the day out happy and feeling accomplished.

Karen D on 14 Jun 10:11

I like Bee Balm

Lara on 14 Jun 10:11

at the moment, sweet alyssum is my favorite pollinator friendly plant.

wen budro on 14 Jun 10:11

Wildflowers and sunflowers are my favorite pollinator plants.

Kayla on 13 Jun 03:24

I love clover! Phasing my lawn into a glorious clover patch.

Cec on 13 Jun 03:24

Lavender is my favorite. I also have a large sage bush that is doing great and has such beautiful purple flowers that all sorts of pollinators love.

Madelene Matthews on 13 Jun 03:24

Thank you for the opportunity. I can’t really say I have a favorite plant, I love them all!!

Dianna C Fortner on 12 Jun 05:58

Love your seeds and easy to follow tutorials!

Dianna on 12 Jun 04:08

Basil is my favorite pollinator-friendly plant. You cut it and it just keeps growing. Amazing!

Tammy on 12 Jun 04:08

I’m starting a medicinal herb garden as well as an herb garden for my chickens, Martha and the Vandals – hopefully they will stay out of my space – ‘cause I’ve got high hopes, I’ve got high hopes… (Martha don’t stay out of anybody’s garden)

Kristan on 12 Jun 04:08

Thank you

Kimberly on 12 Jun 04:08

I have too many too list! Truthfully, with all the unwelcome development Florida is now getting with so many people moving into the state, our native pollinators are being removed at an alarming rate. To do our part, we are gradually replacing our plants with native cultivars using the Florida Wildflower Foundation and our local native plant grower. We had a beautiful butterfly garden, but our HOA made us mow it down. We got a fence put around the yard so they can’t see our backyard and are now slowing getting our butterfly and pollinator garden back. It makes such a difference in our vegetable yields and we love seeing Monarchs, bumblebees, hummingbirds, etc. Having native pollinators makes our yard come alive!

Beth M on 11 Jun 15:22

My favorite pollinator plants are sunflowers and wildflowers.

Peg F on 11 Jun 15:22

It would be easier to say what herbs I DON’T care for, but right now, I can’t think of any.

Betty Hickman on 11 Jun 15:22

I love spearmint and yellowed.

D Warden on 11 Jun 15:22

If the spirit moves you, I’d be interested in articles about milkweed. I don’t know much about it and it would be useful to read about other’s experiments with it.

Elissa on 11 Jun 15:22

Thyme attracts so many pollinators!

Fran on 11 Jun 06:45

Calendula

Marie on 11 Jun 06:45

Marigolds!

Alex on 11 Jun 06:45

I’m new to gardening so I have to say one of the only flowers I have: pansies!

Linda J on 11 Jun 06:45

Calendula is my favorite! Or it is my favorite today ;)

Martha Gallo on 11 Jun 06:45

I love herbs, they’re ornamental and functional with the bonus of being good for polinators!

Tammy on 11 Jun 06:45

I Love Spearmint! The smell and taste are amazing!

Suzan C on 11 Jun 06:45

Thank you for the opportunity. I used some of your seeds at our school’s Garden Club and they grew really well!!!
My favorite pollinator plant would be lavender. We grow a lot of lavender for the bees so they can help pollinate our zucchini, pumpkins, and other squash 🥰🌿🐝

Tracy Culp on 11 Jun 06:45

I think this is a great opportunity. I have just started expanding my use of Herbs and have begun my first herb garden this year!

Angela Short on 10 Jun 14:24

🌼🌸🌻 🪻 My favorite pollinator friendly plants are any wildflowers. I love herb blooms & wild flower blooms too! 🥦🧄🥕🍅

Deb Rowley on 10 Jun 11:35

my favorite pollinator plant is sunflower and I also have a native to my state, wildflower garden that attracts numerous species of bees and butterflies.

Kim on 10 Jun 11:35

Hi! Believe it or not, my favorite pollinator is the humble dandelion!

Odett Fenton on 10 Jun 08:07

The chamomile seeds are producing abundantly!

Diane Sikora on 10 Jun 08:07

I love planting Borage, it’s a gorgeous plant and the pollinators love it.

Claudia on 10 Jun 04:41

Mary T. on 10 Jun 04:41

How do I go about making calendula oil/extract?
I love its medicinal purposes.

Linda on 9 Jun 13:06

My sister and I have bee hives. We discovered the bees love lavender, wild mustard, sunflowers and asters in the fall. We try to have all four growing, plus many others to help give them a steady diet of different pollens and nectars.

Jenny J Granado on 9 Jun 13:06

My favorites are petunias! They just have so many beautiful colors

Gail Sowin on 9 Jun 07:34

I love to plant nasturtiums in the garden

Cheryl Reese on 9 Jun 07:34

I am so excited about this giveaway! I emailed you asking if you have gift certificates. My longtime friend is new to gardening and her 60th birthday is tomorrow! I think seeds would make a great gift!

Linda Everson on 9 Jun 07:34

My favorite is catmint.

Cris on 9 Jun 07:34

I don’t have one yet, but I did think the Phlox was a beautiful pollinator flower.

Side comment: I saw one that said your seeds are top notch and I can second that for sure. Germination is phenomenal and my mind was blown at the lavender germination rate. I expected to have a difficult time with little/no luck. Not with the Heirloom though :)

joe losardo on 9 Jun 03:57

Lilacs

Diane on 9 Jun 03:57

I love having sunflowers around to encourage both pollinators and birds, in the various stages of growth. They can tall or short, but the6 always look cheer6 in the ga4den.

Janet Kemp on 9 Jun 03:57

I think my favorite pollinator friendly plant in the garden would be lavender, coneflowers or phlox.

Danny on 9 Jun 03:57

Marigold

CHRISTY HOGAN on 9 Jun 03:57

Ooooo, love me some herb seeds! Good Luck everyone! Thanks Mary.

Adam Martin on 9 Jun 03:57

I’m using yarrow, sunflowers, and marigolds for pollinators and pest management.

Betty Morgan on 9 Jun 03:57

As much as I hate the stuff Florida Betony is one plant my bees can not stay away from! When it blooms they really make more honey!

Kerry Schwidde on 9 Jun 03:57

Sue D on 9 Jun 03:57

Mint is my favorite pollinator friendly plant.

jane jakins on 9 Jun 03:57

Cat on 8 Jun 15:07

What a great giveaway. Mary Gladstar’s book is on my future purchase list.

Liz Minx on 8 Jun 15:07

I love all the pollinators.. but I’d say marigolds because they grow so well in the desert

Jane Cornwell on 8 Jun 15:07

I do grow herbs. But,i want to devote a Green Stalk to all herbs, so i need more seeds!

Cynthia l on 8 Jun 13:12

I love them all but I think calendula is my favorite. It is beautiful and healing

Tani Taylor on 8 Jun 13:12

I still love the bees buzzing in the purple basil, but right now I do see some hanging around the Nasturtiums along with the humming birds!

Susan Mohr on 8 Jun 13:12

I have so many! Violets and ground ivy flowers are pretty, I have apple and chokecherry, and I need to replace my lilac. there’s the chives as well, and I hope to get some other things established so there is a variety.

Destiny on 8 Jun 11:19

Redbud trees. They are native to our area, abundant, and all around beautiful.

Terrie on 8 Jun 11:19

i lavendar, so many great things you can do with it!

Diana Smith Hill on 8 Jun 11:19

Commented on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M83DWQPlYfI&lc=UgzmRa8ylsw4vqho2bp4AaABAg

Heather Bush on 8 Jun 11:19

I can’t get enough of herbs, especially basil!

Diana Smith Hill on 8 Jun 11:19

mullein because it has bunches of flowers together saving pollinators energy and its a great medicinal plant. I use plants as medicine- making tincture, teas, poultices and salves/balms. Its better to cure yourself.
I am so glad you are giving away herbs this time- great medicine!
Thank you again Mary for all you do!

Candy on 8 Jun 10:44

Carol Hughes on 8 Jun 10:44

Tee Ess on 8 Jun 08:57

I’d like to try basil seed tea

Jimmie P Williams on 8 Jun 08:08

I live close by. I live in Van Tex. I love borage and all types of flowers. My herbs when they bloom. Lavender is really popular with the bees.

TAMMY MILLER on 8 Jun 08:08

First time growing turnips

These were fast to mature and really tasty. I am new to gardening and didn’t thin my seedlings well enough so many of them did not produce much of a root but that’s okay because we definitely got to use the greens! Photos are of the turnips from the garden to my kitchen and the dish we made with them. Some turnips in the photo are not the purple top variety but overall I think the purple top got larger than the others I planted.

First time growing Mustard greens

This was the first time I have grown greens of any kind and it was a success! The plants are beautiful with the purple veins. I over crowded my raised bed with these accidentally but they still did really well. I started seeds indoors and had a hard time germinating (due to my own fault being new to seed starting) but still planted what I had outside when the time came. I was surprised when I saw the seeds that didn’t germinate indoors started coming up shortly after being outdoors. That’s how I ended up overcrowding my raised bed but on the plus side I now have a ton of healthy great tasting food in my backyard. Photos are of the greens from my garden to my kitchen.

Beautiful addition to any garden!

This is my favorite plant in my garden right now. I started my seeds last winter (2022) and planted in spring 2023. My mullein survived the insane high temperatures over summer and was a refreshing pop of green all winter. I am eagerly awaiting the flower!

Im like a kid at Christmas

These are so much fun. They sell out fast and I try to get at least 1 every year. Last year I was lucky enough to grab 2. I love trying new things and these are a mixture of flower, herbs, and vegetable. One of my favorite carrots came from here. It’s one of three that I grow every year because it’s fun!

Wow at results so far…..

When I bought these I had the intention of testing Mary’s seed Garlic with the sprouting store bought garlic from my fridge. I will be doing another review later after I harvest and I’ll post a picture then. So planted these in raised beds. Both in full sun and planted in different beds. I did the exact same thing to both. My store bought sprouted garlic all died. My Mary’s is still alive and forming it’s bulbs. This was just too good not share!
