Photo 1: gardener's hand holding several illustrated seed packets next to a pair of yellow gloves, tucked into a rust-colored work apron that features the "Sow True Seed" logo. The scene suggests hands-on preparation and the excitement of planting a seasonal garden. Photo 2: A close-up of the back of a person wearing a "Sow True Seed" T-shirt, standing in a vibrant garden. The shirt reads “Sow True Seed – AVL N.C.” with the company’s logo below. In the foreground, rust-colored amaranth flowers frame the scene, while green corn stalks rise in the background, evoking a lush and thriving garden environment. Photo 3: Hands delicately sowing seeds into a small orange seed-starting tray filled with soil. A handful of colorful seed packets—Chamomile, Lemon Cucumber, Flower Mix, Arugula, and Calendula—are spread nearby on a wooden surface, alongside a gardening book and trowel. The image captures the joy and intention behind beginning a garden from seed.
