We are incredibly honored and excited to carry on the legacy of Botanical Interests now that we've acquired the seed company! Curtis and Judy built an incredible brand and the most beautiful packets in the business. Thank YOU all for your support of Epic over the years...we couldn't have done it without you! Keep on growing, Kevin
What I love about Botanical Interests is the art on the seed packet. It is the main distinction and what makes them so unique! Thank you for this tour and congratulations!
How Its Made Epic Gardening Edition was such a treat! Thank you for taking the time to create this. The art vault is an under-appreciated part of the business that I'm glad you highlighted
I absolutely agree! I immediately knew this video was right up my alley! But your description of this as How It's Made Gardening Edition 😄 is epic itself, it gave me a wonderful laugh! ✨
Congratulations, Kevin! What a pleasant surprise! As a Colorado gardener, I've purchased and grown many Botanical Interests seeds. I try to support local businesses as much as possible. I think you'll be a great person to entrust the future of this wonderful seed company to! Cheers!
Dude, this is awesome. Seeing you go from that backyard garden to this is truly amazing. You do such a great job you deserve this! I am definitely going to be buying from you!
Oh my goodness!!! I hardly ever comment on you tube but I'm so excited for you guys!!! I love Botanical Garden seeds!!! I look forward to seeing what you all have in store combining Epic Gardening and Botanical! Again congrats and I love all your videos/info!! Thank you!!
Just started my first raised bed garden, all with Botanical Interests seeds, been following Epic Gardening for quite some time and had no idea of the acquisition. That’s so awesome and now I know I have a one stop shop! Congrats Kevin!
I love how you started almost whispering as soon as you entered the "art museum"! Wall calendars (large and small) would be another great way to get more of that amazing art out where it can be seen.
Just ordered 45 seed packets to support this! Congratulations to both parties and I am looking forward to learning more about gardening and seed production
Congratulations! 🎉 I always steer folks to this brand for all the wonderful info on & IN the packet…as well as the amazing seed health & beautiful artwork. I hope you will continue to get more and more organic options!🤞😉🌿
Kevin. I’ve been watching you since the beginning. I got an email the other day from botanical interest about you acquiring them! So crazy how far you’ve come. Good luck moving forward and growing. I hope to see a lot of the things with the seed company staying but excited to see what you and your team bring to the company. 🌸 ❤
Congrats! This is one of my favorite seed companies. I always liked how they took education up a notch with their detailed packets. When I was a new gardener I felt like that helped me be more successful.
Congratulations Kevin! You're much deserving and I'm sure you will have a lot of success! Btw....I'm a customer or Botanical Interests! Now that I know their process, I feel much more comfortable buying more seeds! All the Best!
When I saw the previous video where you mentioned Botanical I googled it and then ordered a few seeds. I think it's good to order from a couple different seed companies for diversity and just to ensure quality. A number of years ago I had started ordering from only one company because they seemed to have the largest selection. One day when going through what I was ordering I noticed how many double packs I was ordering; not because I needed that many plants but because they put so few seeds in each pack and I was finding my germination rates was lower than they stated (don't know if I was suddenly doing something wrong or if seeds were at fault). I decided to go back to multiple companies and I was paying less overall, in many cases getting a few more seeds and my germination rates seemed to straighten out. Hopefully, you will become one of my seed regulars in the future. Congrats on the acquisition.
I didn’t know Botanical Interest was in Broomfield Co. I’m in Denver and that’s about 20 minutes from me. Nice video. Learn something new everyday.😊congratulations 🎈
I can't wait to see your catalog Kevin! You have inspired me beyond my expectations. I have a wonderful garden all year here in Camarillo Ca. Thanks for the education!
I have always preferred Botanical Interests seeds over any other because I feel like they have the MOST information about the specific plants in their seed packets and it is so helpful. I'd rather not have to Google anything about a plant, it's so nice to have it all right there. (Also they always have a very high germination rates, which is definitely a plus).
This news is absolutely amazing, Botanical Interest is my go seed, most of the plants and seeds I buy come from Pikes nursery in Atlanta, Georgia and the carry exclusively Botanical seeds. Even if I don’t need seeds I always stop by the seed wall to study the artwork and of course I leave with more seeds. 🎉🎉🎉Congratulations 🍾
WOW, I'm literally a new subscriber to your channel today, and this is my first year placing 2 orders now with Botanical Intrest. I just wanted to watch bc you were starting seeds but ended up binge watching. You remind me of Mike Rowe with Dirty Jobs without the dirty cracks.🤣 Do you sing too.🤣Seriously, you just have a great voice and personality. This must be so exciting. I LOVE Botanical Interests. I'm going to place another order. Thanks for sharing. This was so cool seeing an actual seed company and how it operates.🤗
WOW I am very impressed with the growth of Epic Gardening. Congrats to both parties. Hope to see Botanicals in my local nursery here soon in Kansas! Kevin, well played.
Congratulations 🎊!!! So happy and proud of your achievement. You are such an awesome teacher the further nurtured my love of gardening. Hopefully one day I can be a provider of seed when I move to a more viable location. ❤
Kevin, I am confident you will not let Botanical Interests echo the demise of beloved Smith & Hawken, which was bought and sold by various retail conglomerates, including Scotts Miracle Grow and now Target. The original Smith & Hawken guys said Scotts could not have been a worse corporate owner. I used to order religiously from the original Mill Valley catalog way back in the day and I was devastated about what happened to that company. My hunch is that Curtis and Judy are ready to retire and chose Epic Gardening just as much as Epic Gardening chose Botanical Interests. Well done, and best of good luck moving forward!
This was an amazing video - I have shared it all over my family and friends. Thank you for sharing about this fantastic company - Botanical Interest - I am glad this company is still growing strong.
Also: this sooo reminds me of Mike at American Meadows. ❤️ Started off working a job at a seed company, years later became the owner and THE seed man 😂 himself! Love a good story coming out of another love of mine, gardening and plants, and just the circle of life ✨✨
So happy for you and your company. It was really nice to see the behind the scenes of how things work. I was wondering how a seed company processes things and get them out so this was really interesting to watch. Thank you
Kevin, this so exciting! This afternoon I put an order into botanical interests. It was awesome seeing the backstage of the seeds. Can’t wait to get mine.
I'm assuming some varieties are kinda centralized in there production meaning some seeds dont have a lot of people growing them so of something happens it has an effect. Sunsugar cherry tomatoes is what I would give as an example this year.
I live an hour away from Botanical Interests and buy their seeds Every time I have a choice, they're consistently FaBuLoUs. I LOVE that they have Artists doing the drawings on the packets. 😄
Kevin, can't believe you would pick those seed packets off the shelf and just exit the store without paying (20:05). What a shame! 😂😂😂 Jokes aside, congratulations! Really happy for you. Maybe one day some of those seeds will make it to Portugal!
Awesome, Been lurking and watching your videos for years. Just placed an order there for Alpine strawberry seeds! Goodluck in your new business venture :D
That was the most low-key announcement -- oh, by the way, Epic just bought this whole f*cking company -- now let's check out these machines 🤣 congrats. Epic Gardening has blown up fast!!!
I’m pretty certain, all of us home gardeners are cheering so hard for you Kevin for this dream to come true. It all starts with a packet of seeds 💗 congratulations!

Keep on growing, Kevin
I guess I know where I’m ordering all my seeds from now on! Congrats Kevin!
Are you guys planning on shipping worldwide in the future tho?
Are you going to mere Botanical Interests into Epic gardening store?
I would absolutely buy a book of the illustrations and the seed information! Will you expand to international markets?
CONGRATS KEV!

@@epicgardening soo are you also foreshadowing with that Xtreme Gardening fleece you were sporting at the end of the vid? 🤔🤔🤔

You have a similar channel name to me 😄

I live in Broomfield and love their seeds, had no idea they were right here!
Just placed my order for seeds from Botanical Interests, cant wait to get them in!
That’s a serious operation 😮
Congratulations and good luck with your new endeavour.
Exciting!!! I carried this brand of seeds in my medicinal herb store in LA 20 years ago! Terrific news and so happy for you!!!
That's so cool jolynn!
CONGRATULATIONS! Can’t wait to see your product in Manitoba Canada. Best wishes to you and everyone at EPIC!
Congratulations Kevin. I have always loved Botanical Interests, exciting to see how it evolves with you.
So happy for you and your company. It was really nice to see the behind the scenes of how things work. I was wondering how a seed company processes things and get them out so this was really interesting to watch. Thank you
Didn't realize they are located in Colorado, gained a lot of respect for them when I saw the Broncos sticker on their machine!
Kevin, this so exciting! This afternoon I put an order into botanical interests. It was awesome seeing the backstage of the seeds. Can’t wait to get mine.
I appreciate you!
@@epicgardening will you be selling them online yourself.
I'm assuming some varieties are kinda centralized in there production meaning some seeds dont have a lot of people growing them so of something happens it has an effect. Sunsugar cherry tomatoes is what I would give as an example this year.
My dream jobs would be seed counting or the packet/order picker. How fun! ❤
Congratulations! I love Botanical Interests seeds and Epic Gardening/Homesteading! Great combination!
I never thought to look inside their packets for the additional info!
so well done all around; Botanical Interests (the company and people) and this video (production and those involved in it). ty - stunning announcement
Dude, this was epic! So cool to get the tour from the new owner ;) Congrats man! So stoked to see what you do next with Botanical!
I live an hour away from Botanical Interests and buy their seeds Every time I have a choice, they're consistently FaBuLoUs. I LOVE that they have Artists doing the drawings on the packets. 😄
This is very exciting news, and I am looking forward to seeing what kinds of innovations you bring to the future of gardening, Kevin!
OMG, this is EPIC! Congratulations, Kevin.
OMGoodness, I’m so happy for both you and Colorado! 🎉
This is beautiful Kevin&Botanical. Best of luck!
Kevin, can't believe you would pick those seed packets off the shelf and just exit the store without paying (20:05). What a shame! 😂😂😂
Jokes aside, congratulations! Really happy for you. Maybe one day some of those seeds will make it to Portugal!
I love this company. Such beautiful seed packets and the packaging is awesome too.
Congratulations! It's do nice to know Botanical Interests will continue.
I have a chocolate flower pack from this company and was not aware of the information on the inside. Very interesting video!

It does!
Never thought seeds were so interesting. This was a great video. Thanks!
This is a fun tour to see but I feel like I'm watching a job interview - was this recorded before or after the acquisition I wonder?
After! It's the first time on camera for a lot of folks, I think the team did a wonderful job
Congratulations! Looking forward to doing business with you~
OMG. Congratulations epicgardening!
Very cool! Huge congrats and best of everything for the future. 🍻
This is so cool! Congrats! I love their seeds! How exciting!
Well now I’m only going to buy seeds from here!

The artwork should be printed up in several sizes, framed, and sold on the seed company site.
I always wanted to know this!
Dude I am so proud of you 🥲
🙏
Congrats! This is amazing 👏 🙌 😍
Huge congrats!!!
Awesome! Congratulations!
I was expecting where these seeds came from or how are they harvested not the packaging
Me too I wanted to see the actual harvesting
@@Roseyfinchartworks haha same. 😄 i thought he will add on the last part
@@Roseyfinchartworks but great video.
I love these packs! I save them for the artwork!
Great, my first seed was from them too. Eggplant black Beauty
I'm going to open their foxglove seed packet that says it has 350mg of seeds inside on video to see what it says on the inside of the packet.
Thats a density table, sorts seeds by density and mass
Congratulations!
Congrats!
Wow!!! Congrats
Please make a carrot guide i have problems with them
Wow congrats
How do seed companies do zone hardiness tests
Fascinating video, thanks!
