There’s an opportunity waiting for seniors who are spending more time indoors this winter. With one little packet of seeds, you have almost everything you need to bring the magic of gardening into your home. The plethora of varietal and heirloom seeds far outnumbers the types of plants you find at the nursery. Let your imagination go!
