The Fragrant Path is one of my favorite seed sources for several reasons! There is not, however, a glitzy, high-tech website with garish photos that the plants cannot live up to. Imagine instead perusing their photo-free paper catalog, with informative and charming descriptions from the person who actually grows the plants! This is a rare gem; a gentler version of Dan Hinkley's original written-word catalog for Heronswood. Focusing on fragrant or unusual plants, you will find things here not offered elsewhere.
The complete catalog is not sent out yearly, just a flyer with new additions. Pay a few dollars and get the complete one, it is worth every penny. Ed Rasmussen, Tudy and Judi will get around to a website...someday. Find them today at P.O. Box 328, Ft. Calhoun, Nebraska, 68023. Dust off the checkbook and find the Slow Food equivalent of seed sources.
p.s. Their name is from Louise Beebe Wilder's classic book from 1936, The Fragrant Path; a book about sweet scented flowers and leaves. ----Gayle
p.s. I just received this message from Judi at The Fragrant Path:
"The catalog is $3, People order by mail.
The website is down due to outdated software, and we're working to get it back up eventually.
