Herman's Garden
The financial support of Herman Warsh and Maryanne Mott helped to establish our headquarters in Decorah, Iowa: Heritage Farm. To honor their support, we donate seeds to nonprofit, educational, and community organizations and gardens in need through our Herman's Garden Seed Donation Program.
Due to customs restrictions and shipping costs, we cannot honor requests outside of the United States. We cannot accept requests from individuals or from projects where seed or resulting produce will be sold.
