I've been thinking about more lettuce and radishes.

Gardeners can plant many things from July to September for a fall garden with harvests all the way up to winter.

🧄 Garlic season is coming!

This year, we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of accepting preorders, all of our 2026 heirloom garlic varieties will be available to order beginning Monday, September 21, at 9:00 AM CT, and shipping will begin the same day.

Waiting until harvest is complete means we can provide the most accurate inventory possible, so every garlic variety listed on our website is available and ready to ship for fall planting.

Mark your calendar! We expect to have plenty of inventory, but some favorite varieties may sell quickly. Orders will continue while supplies last.

Want a reminder? Visit the garlic collection at seedsavers.org/garlic and click “Get Notified When Available” on your favorite varieties to receive updates. 🌱

Sometimes, you don't need more flowers to make an impact!
Mixing leaf colors and textures makes visually interesting gardens.
And, of course, flowers are cool too! 🙂

I highly recommend the Merlin app for bird identification!

“There’s no question that being in nature is good for wellbeing. Research shows that experiencing nature and listening to natural sounds can relax us.

A key reason for these benefits may be because of the appeal of birds and their pleasant songs that we hear when in nature."

Nature has its own little team of heroes. The honeybee — a tiny worker making golden honey and building the sweetness of life. The fluffy bumblebee — a gentle soul dancing from flower to flower, keeping our world blooming and alive. And the wasp — the fierce guardian of balance, controlling pests and protecting nature in its own bold way.
‎Different personalities, different roles, yet all are essential for the harmony of our ecosystem. Next time you see one, don’t just fear — appreciate the silent work they do for our planet, our food, and our future. Nature doesn’t need applause, but it surely deserves respect.
