  7. I would love the tomato seed collection! We can tomatoes for chili, we freeze sauce for pasta, and we love fresh tomatoes. Can never have enough tomatoes!

  11. Heirloom tomato seed collection – my husband’s Italian, so we make a lot of homemade tomato sauce. And heirloom tomatoes are always delicious! I’ve never tried growing tomatoes from seed (only from starts), but would love to try these out. Just out of curiosity, when growing tomatoes from seed do you usually start them indoors or just stick them straight in the ground?

  14. I would like to try the Super Organic vegetable starter seed collection! Plus I already follow them on Facebook and Pinterest

  17. We would love the herb collection seeds. As a family of 9, (7 kiddos here) we use herbs a lot to stay healthy. I’ve been wanting to put in an herb garden this year since we moved to a new house. Thank you for considering us in your fun giveaway. 🙂

  18. I would be interested in the Super Organic vegetable starter.

    Thank you so much! This is fun!

    I liked Botanical gardens on Facebook!

  22. Wow, all of these are fabulous but I would have to choose the super Organic Vegetable Seed Starter Collection. I have been organizing our school garden this year and the kids would go crazy over this selection. We’ve had a very successful winter garden and are now getting the beds ready to plant the spring/summer garden. However, if I was selecting for myself, I would choose the Heirloom Tomato Seed Collection because I love tomatoes and end up canning, drying, etc. every chance I get.

  29. That super organic veggie starter kit looks like it has something for everyone in the family to love!

  38. This is a wonderful giveaway!!! I would love to win all of the collections but, because I must choose, I choose the Super Organic Vegetable Starter Seed Collection!!!! Feeling lucky in Wasilla, AK!!!

  41. I would love to have the Organic Vegetable Seed Starter Collection!! I love Botanical Interess seeds and have used them several times.

  45. The Heirloom Tomato Collection – really can’t wait for tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes (winter ones are the worst)

  46. Well I’d love them all, but if I must pick one it would be the Super Organic Vegetable starter seed collection. Every year I try to expand my garden to include something new. This year we will be looking at organic vegetables and herbs. We’ve moved to the high desert so we are learning new ways to grow our own food. I love Botanical Interests seeds.

  49. Hi Mavis! I am following Botanical Interests on Facebook for my second entry!!! Thank you! 🙂

  50. I would love the Super Organic Vegetable Starter Seed Collection! Thanks for doing this Mavis, you rock!

  54. The Super Organic Veg Seed Collection! Last year was the first time I grew anything from seed (varrots and a tomato plant) and it was so fun I can’t wait to try more plants this year!

  63. Hi Mavis, I’m also following on twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Great Company, Thanks again.

  64. Oh my goodness, they all look amazing! My first choice would be the organic vegetable starter seeds. We’re getting ready for a cross country move and these would be a great way to start my new garden!!

  65. What a great giveaway! Our garden would definitely love any of these, especially the Organic Vegetable Starter Seed Collection. It has such a fabulous variety!

  66. I’m not following Botanical Interests on Facebook. Thanks for introducing us to such a great seed company!

  70. So hard to choose! My first choice would be the organic vegetable starter seeds, and second would be the heirloom tomatoes.

    I like Botanical Interest on Facebook and Pinterest.

    Thank you for the opportunity!

  71. I follow Botanical Interests on Facebook.

    The Chef’s Herb Garden Seed Collection would be wonderful to win. I already have my tomatoes, artichokes, squashes, okra and lots more growing under the grow light. It would be awesome to win this – since the 19th is my birthday 🙂

  74. Have been following botanical interest on FB for quite some time and now on Pinterest. I love their seed packet artwork. So beautiful.

  78. I would love any of hem, but the Super Organic Vegetable Starter Seed Collection really stood out to me. Been reading your blog forever & I remember you posting about them way back in 2013. 🙂

  79. Hi Mavis,

    I would LOVE to win any of these fabulous seed collections, but if I have to choose one, I choose the Heirloom Tomato Seed Collection 😀 My family and I just love, love, love fresh tomatoes! I also can them so I can enjoy them in soups and sauces all winter long.

  83. Any or all of the seed collections interest me greatly! After three years of my back yard lying fallow (no mowing or anything), it is time to reclaim and get back to gardening. I love to put things up, dehydrate things and cook. It is worth the extra time and effort. Come Christmas, giving away baskets of home-made items makes all of us happy!

    I live in the “frozen wastelands of westernmost MA” so our growing season is relatively short. I think my in-laws grew a number of the above offerings in their garden plot, so I have all confidence that there will be good production.

    Thank you so much for the opportunity! – Me

  93. The Super Organic Seed Collection has my name on it for sure! Thanks Mavis – you and Botanical Interests rock!

  98. I would like any of these collections, but my first choice would be the Super Organic Vegetable Starter kit.

  101. I would love the Heirloom Tomato Seed Collection, I think the smell of tomato plants is so great!

  114. What a great selection! Love them all, but seriously I have never met a tomato I did not like! The heirloom tomato seed collection would be a great prize for our family. Every year tomatoes are the number one plant in our garden as we use them for canning over 200 quarts of multiple tomato based recipes. This would be a great kick start to starting seed for my Kentucky garden. Following Botanical Interest on Pinterest and YouTube. Thanks for the chance to win!

  115. The Organic Seed Starter. I have ordered seeds from them in the past and have a current catalog. So beautiful to look through and dream. The collections are great for gift giving. Such a sweet little box of wonderful!

  120. I would love to win the Super Organic Seed Starter. Now that I’m retired, I’m finally starting a vegetable garden and this would be a wonderful addition!

  144. Heirloom tomato seeds please! The cardboard tasting grocery store tomatoes pale in comparison to home grown.

  147. I’d love to grow the Super Organic Vegetable Starter Seed Collection. I liked Botanical Interests Seed Packets on Facebook.

  148. I would be so excited to win the Chef’s Herb Garden Seed Collection! I follow Botanical Interests on Pintrest!

  193. Chef’s Herb Garden Seed Collection because I am guilty of still spending $1.99 for a tiny plastic box of ‘fresh’ herbs from Kroger produce. I’ve herbically challenged in my gardening adventures.

  195. I would love the tomato collection. I love the purple cherokee, and would like to try some of the others. There are so many ways to preserve them (your tomato sauce and Thy Hand’s tomato soup), and i hope to grow enough to donate to our local soup kitchen this year.

  238. Oh how I’d love the Super Organic Veggie Seeds, so I can hide some vegetables amongst the “HOA-approved plants” in my yard. Sigh. Suburbia. 🙂

  245. The tomato seed collection. Back when I was a kid in So. Calif. My grandfather helped me plant a tomato garden. He would bring heirloom seeds that he had over from Arizona and help me plant my garden every year. Those were the best tomatoes I have ever had!

  246. I’d be thrilled to win any of those collections, but if I have to choose, I’d like the veggie pack because it’s the most practical for me. Thanks!

  253. I’d like any of them but the heirloom tomatoes would be my first choice. I follow on Pinterest and liked on Facebook!

    Spending my dollars on the best seeds possible is the only way to go in the long term so I want the best!!!! I would love love love to have the vegetable starter pack!!!!

  283. The Super Organic Seed Starter Collection please! Money is reeeally tight this year so I’m trying to grow as much of our food as I can.

  286. I would love to receive the Chef’s Herb Garden collection. I love to cook (and garden!) and always seem to be running out of fresh herbs. I have used the Botanical Interests Seeds before with great success – in fact I have their microgreens growing in my kitchen window right now.
