The SEED BANK in Petaluma

This week I drove up to Petaluma to visit the Baker Creek Seed store which just celebrated it's first year annivesary. What a cool place. If you love heirloom varieties of vegetables and herbs or flowers, then this is the place for you. They carry 1,400 types of rare non-genetically modified seeds.
The place is full of seeds and garden gifts as well as books and videos. This is a "MUST STOP IN" place if you are on  the way up to Santa Rosa or beyond. (Corner of Petaluma Blvd. and Washington.)
                          FYI - they are closed on Saturdays!


In the meantime, they are on the web and Facebook as well.
