Renee Shepherd is widely regarded as a pioneering innovator in introducing international vegetable, culinary herb and flower varieties to home gardeners and gourmet restaurants. After receiving her PhD from UC Santa Cruz and teaching there, she established Renee's Garden to do what she likes best – searching out the very best seeds from around the world, thoroughly testing them in the company’s trial gardens to choose top varieties for our seed packets, and developing recipes based on homegrown produce to happily share with others in her cookbooks.

In addition to founding and developing the seed company business, Renee is a long time “Garden To Table “ advocate, lectures widely, and has written three popular Kitchen Garden cookbooks.
