Sandra's Urban Garden Collection

I’m Sandra Mao, founder of Sandra Urban Garden and author of Vibrant Harvest. I’m passionate about helping people grow beautiful, productive food gardens, especially in small or urban spaces. I focus on making gardening approachable, practical, and inspiring so gardeners of all levels can feel confident growing their own food.

I created this curated seed collection to highlight varieties that I personally love growing in my garden. Each variety was selected for flavor, productivity, beauty, and reliability. Many of these seeds perform especially well in raised beds, containers, and compact garden spaces, making them perfect for home gardeners who want to maximize their harvest while growing something visually vibrant and exciting.

When growing this collection, I always encourage gardeners to focus on building healthy soil, maintaining consistent watering, and choosing the right planting time for their growing season. Starting with strong, reliable varieties helps build confidence and creates a more enjoyable gardening experience.

You can find more gardening tips, tutorials, and seasonal inspiration through Sandra Urban Garden on social media and YouTube, where I share step-by-step guidance and behind-the-scenes looks at what I’m growing.
