About Katie:
Seed-on-Hudson is the brainchild of flower farmer and seed saver Katie Tolson based in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.

Her love of plants and flowers started with freshly picked summer strawberries and roses in her mother's & grandmother's gardens. California raised her, the UK made her a mother, and New York gave her the space to grow dreams.

 Inspired by her love of all things organic, flavorful, fragrant and homegrown, and frustrated by the lack of places to buy good quality, healthy seedlings of heirloom varieties and native plants, Katie set up Seed-on-Hudson to serve her local Westchester community. Katie is a Committee Member of the Hastings Pollinator Pathway Project and initiated The Great Hastings Seed Swap in February 2021.
