Shaker Style Seed Packets

$5 each packet

Isobel's Magic Beans... In 1790, Shaker communities in New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and later Enfield, CT, began to package Herb, Vegetable and Flower seeds they harvested in envelopes called "Papers".  My seeds are organically grown Scarlet Runner Beans.  They are packaged in simple envelope papers. A package contains 12 Beans. Scarlet Runner Beans are easy, fun, attractive and edible.  They can grow up to 10 feet tall in the sun and will need a trellis, pole or building to climb on. The bright Scarlet flowers attract bees and hummingbirds. Beans can be eaten raw or cooked. Or, let them dry and use later in chili or soups. These simple seed packets are a great addition to your gift shop, or as an individual gift for a child or adult who will enjoy the process of growing a fabulous plant.
