Storing Your Seeds

To help maintain the vitality and germination potential of your seeds, store them in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight.

A cupboard in a room with a stable temperature is ideal. For extra protection, keep your seeds in an airtight container or glass jar with a small amount of dry rice to help absorb excess moisture.

🌱 SEED CLEARANCE — ONCE THEY’RE GONE, THEY’RE GONE!

All seeds are now on SALE and CLEARANCE.

I will not be restocking seeds, so everything currently available in the store is the final remaining stock.

If you grow from seed, now is a very good time to stock up on your favourites — and perhaps a few varieties you’ve been wanting to try.

Once a variety sells out, it will not be coming back.

Stock up while they’re still available.
