Fifty years ago, in 1965, Applewood Seed Co. was started by Gene Milstein in his parents’ basement in suburban Denver, Colorado. He offered traditional flower and vegetable seed packets. In 1967, the company began selling hand-collected wildflower seed to the gift and garden markets in hand-drawn packets.
